Abstract
Radiation processing developed following the Second World War and employs g amma- or electron-irradiation to process polymers, cure alkene-based inks a nd coatings, sterilize medical supplies, irradiate food, and manage wastes. The current status of these applications is described with the probable di rection of future developments.
