Abstract
In the present work, elastomeric blends of cis- and trans-polyisoprene prepared by solution casting have been implanted by carbon ions (C 6+) at three different fluencies with 87 MeV energy. The implanted samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction. The thermal transport and mechanical properties of implanted samples have been investigated using transient plane source and dynamic mechanical analyzer respectively. It was found that both thermal transport and mechanical properties show increasing trend up to certain fluence and beyond this fluence a decrease is observed. The variations in these properties have been discussed in terms of crosslink density and crystallinity.
