Effects of electron beam irradiation on mechanical properties and nanostructural-morphology of montmorillonite added polyvinyl alcohol composite

This paper is aiming to analyze the effects of electron beam irradiation on the mechanical properties and structural-morphology of nano-sized montmorillonite (MMT) added polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) composite. MMT particles were added to the PVOH matrix at various loading level that ranges from 0.5 to 4...
