J. Konar et Ak. Bhowmick, SURFACE-PROPERTIES OF POLYETHYLENE GRAFTED WITH TRIALLYL CYANURATE INTHE PRESENCE OF AN ELECTRON-BEAM, Journal of adhesion science and technology, 8(10), 1994, pp. 1169-1178
The surface energy and thermodynamic work of adhesion of polyethylene
grafted with triallyl cyanurate in the presence of an electron beam ha
ve been determined. The surface energy increased with the grafting lev
el and with the irradiation dose up to 10 Mrad. A similar trend was ob
served with the work of adhesion. The changes in these surface propert
ies were correlated with the concentration of the polar groups as meas
ured by IR (infrared) spectroscopy and ESCA (electron spectroscopy for
chemical analysis) studies.
