Abstract

Review on application of radiation for processing of polymers is presented. The radiation sources like gamma irradiators, electron accelerators and accelerator-based e⁻/X systems are shortly discussed. Then, the basic information regarding physical and chemical processes undergoing in the irradiated polymers is presented. Finally, the application of radiation technology in cable, rubber and healthcare industry is reviewed; the well-established technologies exist nowadays and are being applied more widely all over the world.
