Abstract
Polyethylene is available in different grades such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE). The linearity of low density of it is very important. In this study two grades of polyethylene were irradiated with a uniform field of gamma radiation. All the samples were punched in dumbbell shape. The effects of gamma radiation on the polymers were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy, tensile test and differential scanning calorimetry. Experimental data showed that the melting point and elastic modulus of HDPE increased up to a certain level of irradiation and then decreased, but for LDPE did not change any more.
