Abstract
Two-components blends, of compositions in a range from 100% of high density polyethylene (PE) to 100% of butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) were investigated from the point of view of basic radiation chemistry and modifi cations of technological and chemical properties. Irradiations were perform ed with 10 MeV electrons to doses of 30, 60 and 120 kGy, by the split dose technique to avoid thermal effects. EPR spectra were measured with the Bruk er 300 ESP spectrometer, using a computer program for the deconvolution and analysis of spectra. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
