The process of radiation crosslinking helps to improve some mechanical properties of polymer materials. Some types of polymers do not cross-link during radiation crosslinking but degrade. In order to create 3D net in the polymer structure it is necessary to add a crosslinking agent. The specimens were prepared by injection technology with the TAIC crosslinking agent at 0, 1, 2 and 3 %. The changes of micromechanical properties of the surface layer were measured by instrumented microhardness test. It was found that micromechanical properties of the surface layer of the tested polyamide changed.

Influence of mechanical properties of the hard surface layer of modified polyamide 6 is studied. Mechanical properties are acquired by nanohardness test with using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hard surface layers are created by radiation cross-linking technology. This technology allows polymer materials modification followed by the change of their end-use properties. The surface layer of polymer material is modified by ionizing β - radiation. When the polymer material is exposed to the β radiation, it is possible to observe changes of the surface layer at applied load. Radiation cross-linking usually improves strength, reduces creep, contributes to chemical resistance improvement, and in many cases improves tribological properties.

Radiation Crosslinking

Radiation crosslinking of polyamidu 6 (PA 6) is a well-recognized modification of improving basic material characteristics. Radiation, which penetrated through specimens and reacted with the cross-linking agent, gradually formed cross-linking (3D net), first in the surface layer and then in the total volume, which resulted in considerable changes in specimen behaviour. This research paper deals with the possible utilization of irradiated PA6. The material already contained a special cross-linking agent TAIC (5 volume %), which should enable subsequent cross-linking by ionizing β – radiation (15, 30 and 45 kGy). The effect of the irradiation on mechanical behavior of the tested PA 6 was investigated. Material properties created by β – radiation are measured by nanoindentation test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hardness increased with increasing dose of irradiation at everything samples; however results of nanoindentation test shows increasing in nanomechanical properties of surface layer. The highest values of nanomechanical properties were reached radiation dose of 45 kGy, when the nanomechanical values increased by about 95%. These results indicate advantage cross-linking of the improved mechanical properties.

Modification Of The Surface

The experimental study deals with the effect of modification of the surface layer by irradiation cross-linking on the mechanical properties of the Poly (methyl methacrylate) - PMMA tested using the instrumented microhardness test. The surface layer of PMMA specimen made by injection technology was modified by irradiation cross-linking using beta irradiation, which significantly influences mechanical properties of the surface layer. Compared to the heat and chemical-heat treatment of metal materials (e.g. hardening, nitridation, case hardening), cross-linking in polymers affects the surfaces in micro layers. These mechanical changes of the surface layer are observed in the instrumented microhardness test. Our research confirms the comparable properties of surface layer of irradiated PMMA with highly efficient polymers. The subject of this research is the influence of irradiation dosage on the changes of mechanical properties of PMMA.

The process of radiation crosslinking helps to improve some mechanical properties of polymer materials. Micro-mechanical changes in the surface layer of glass-fiber filled PA 66 modified by beta radiation were measured by the Depth Sensing Indentation - DSI method on samples which were non-irradiated and irradiated by different doses of the β - radiation. The specimens were prepared by injection technology and subjected to radiation doses of 0, 33, 66 nad 99 kGy. The change of micro-mechanical properties is greatly manifested mainly in the surface layer of the modified polypropylene where a significant growth of micro-hardness values can be observed. Indentation modulus increased from 1.8 to 3.0 GPa (increasing about 66%) and indentation hardness increased from 87 to 157 MPa (increasing about 80%). This research paper studies the influence of the dose of irradiation on the micro-mechanical properties of semi-crystalline polyamide 66 filled by 30% glass fiber at room temperature. The study is carried out due to the ever-growing employment of this type of polymer.

In this paper, the effect of the electron beam irradiation on the indentation hardness, indentation modulus and indentation creep have been studied by means of the Depth sensing indentation (DSI). Cross-linking is a process in which polymer chains are associated through chemical bonds. Radiation doses of 33, 66 and 99 kGy were used for unfilled polyamide 6 with the 7% crosslinking agent (triallyl isocyanurate). Beta irradiation of the examined thermoplastic caused the growth of values of material parameters as micro-hardness, indentation modulus or indentation creep etc. From this point of view, there may be new application in areas with mechanical properties higher than their original properties. This study compared the mechanical properties of irradiated and non-irradiated PA6.

The presented article deals with the research of micro-mechanical properties in the surface layer of modified Polypropylene filled by 25% of glass fibers. These micro-mechanical properties were measured by the Depth Sensing Indentation - DSI method on samples which were non-irradiated and irradiated by different doses of the β - radiation. Radiation doses used were 0, 66 and 99 kGy for filled Polypropylene with the 6% cross-linking agent (triallyl isocyanurate). The change of micromechanical properties is greatly manifested mainly in the surface layer of the modified polypropylene where a significant growth of microhardness values can be observed.
