Abstract
Abstract In the present work, a multi-functional monomer triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) of 4 wt.% is incorporated into neat poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) by twin screw extrusion technique and the PBS sheets are irradiated at various electron beam absorption doses. It has been found that electron beam irradiation at an appropriate absorption dose plays an effective role in crosslinking the PBS molecules in the presence of TAIC. As a result, the irradiation influences the gel fraction, glass transition temperature, thermal stability, thermo-dimensional stability, dynamic storage modulus, and tensile properties of PBS, depending on the electron beam absorption dose applied. The improvement of the thermal and mechanical properties of PBS is most significant in the range of 50 to 70 kGy. The results are consistent with each other, supporting the electron beam irradiation effect on the property improvement of PBS.
