Abstract
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.
