Abstract

Cross-linking is a process in which polymer chains are associated through chemical bonds. This research paper deals with the possible utilization of irradiated polyamide. Influence of the intensity of irradiation on micro-indentation hardness was investigated. Material properties created by β – radiation are measured by micro-indentation test using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hardness increased with increasing dose of irradiation at everything samples; however results of micro-indentation test shows increasing in micro-mechanical properties of surface layer. The highest values of micro-mechanical properties were reached radiation dose of 99 kGy, when the micro-mechanical values increased by about 18%.
