Abstract
A study on RVNRL with low energy electron beams of 300 keV was carried out to reduce cost of irradiation. To overcome the very low penetrati on of low energy EB a special vessel with a stirrer was developed. Phy sical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break and swe lling ratio of the films from the irradiated latex were measured to fi nd out the optimum conditions of RVNRL. The results show that low ener gy EB can be used for RVNRL effectively even without sensitizers.
