Abstract
The presented article deals with the research of micro-mechanical properties in the surface layer of modified linear polyethylene (LLDPE). These micro-mechanical properties were measured by the Depth Sensing Indentation - DSI method on samples which were non-irradiated and irradiated by different doses of the β - radiation (0, 66, 132 and 198 kGy ). Individual radiation doses caused structural and micro-mechanical changes which have a significant effect on the final properties of the LLDPE tested. The highest values of micro-mechanical properties were reached at radiation dose of 132 kGy, when the micro-hardness values increased by about 29%. These results indicate advantage crosslinking of the improved mechanical properties.
