The influence of beta radiation on the changes in the structure and selected properties (mechanical and thermal) was proved. Using high doses of beta radiation for glass fiber filled polyamide (PA) and its influence on the changes of micromechanical properties of surface layer has not been studied in detail so far. The specimens of glass fiber filled PA were made by injection moulding technology and irradiated by low doses of beta radiation (0, 132, 165 and 198 kGy). The changes in the microstructure and micromechanical properties of surface layer were evaluated using WAXS and instrumented microhardness test. The results of the measurements showed change some in micromechanical properties (indentation hardness) when high doses of beta radiation are used.

Micromechanical changes in the surface layer of glass-filled PA-6 modified by beta radiation were measured by instrumented test of microhardness. The specimens were prepared by injection technology and subjected to radiation doses of 0, 66, 99, 132 kGy. Measurements of microhardness showed considerable changes of behavior of surface layer in middle as well as high radiation doses with higher values of indentation hardness and stiffness.

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.

The influence of beta radiation on the changes in the structure and selected properties (mechanical and thermal) polymers were proved. The use of low doses of beta radiation for polypropylene and its influence on the changes of micro, macro mechanical properties was thoroughly studied. The specimens of polypropylene were made by injection molding technology and irradiated by low doses of beta radiation (0, 15 and 33 kGy). The changes in the microstructure and micromechanical properties of surface layer were evaluated using WAXS and instrumented nano hardness test. The results of the measurements showed considerable increase in mechanical properties (indentation hardness, indentation elastic modulus) when the beta radiation are used.

The presented article deals with the research of surface layer ́s micro-mechanical properties of modified LDPE by radiation cross-linking after temperature load. These micro-mechanical properties were measured by the DSI (Depth Sensing Indentation) method on samples which were non-irradiated and irradiated by different doses of the β – radiation and then were temperature loaded. The purpose of the article is to consider to what extent the irradiation process influences the resulting micro-mechanical properties measured by the DSI method. The LDPE tested showed significant changes of indentation hardness and modulus after temperature load.

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.
