Transitory and permanent effects of electron beam irradiation on mechanical
and electrical properties of a large list of organic insulating materials,
such as: polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), te
rephtalated polyethylene (PET), stratified phenol-paper (SPP), methylstyren
e butadiene rubber (MeStB), silicon rubber (SR), polyester resin (UPR) are
presented. The principal mechanical and electrical properties analyzed were
: tensile strength, elongation at break, sharing strength, dielectric stren
gth, electrical resistivity, dielectric constant, dissipation factor. (C) 2
