Abstract
Two binary blends consisting of polypropylene and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (3:1 and 1:1), and two ternary mixtures containing high density polyethylene, polystyrene and ethylene propylene copolymer (2:2:1 and 4.5:4.5:1) were exposed to high energy electron irradiation. Three doses (50, 100 and 150 kGy) were applied to all samples. Compatibilization was assessed by measurements of tensile strength and elongation at break for components and mixtures. The extent of oxidation was evaluated by two characteristics: hydroxyl index and carbonyl index. Some considerations on the radiolytic behaviour of the studied blends are presented.
