Enhancing the mechanical properties of cross-linked rubber-toughened nanocomposites via electron beam Irradiation

Improving the mechanical properties of a pristine system is the main target of developing nanocomposites. The nanocomposites systems were first prepared via intercalation technique with different organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) loading. Two types of cross-linking techniques were applied, namely,...
