Electron beam cross-linking of NR/LLDPE blends
Effects of electron beam irradiation on the mechanical properties and morphological structure of natural rubber (NR)/linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend was investigated. The NR/LLDPE blend was prepared by melt blending in a Haake internal mixer at 140�C, rotor speed of 50 rpm, and in 15 m...
