Abstract
Crosslinked High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) was developed using electron beam radiation techniques. The crosslinked HDPE can be used as marine grade cross-linked HDPE floater pontoon material. Thermoplastic resin, HDPE blended with Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) in various weight percentage compositions before being radiate with electron beams irradiation. These composites showed significant changes in mechanical properties and temperature stability after the irradiations. From this study, the optimum dose for HDPE and HDPE/EVA blends will be obtain. This study also will provide the optimum irradiation dose in order to have a good, high strength and impact for the production of pontoon material. The present of EVA in the blend will act as impact modifier also being investigated in this study. From the study, the result showed some significant changes in thermal and mechanical properties after being irradiated with electron beam. The comparison of the result between these composite composition of irradiated and non-irradiated HDPE composite used for floater pontoon material is presented in this paper
