Abstract

The chapter provides introduction to radiation processing of solid state materials, using commercially available sources of ionizing radiation, i.e., radio-isotopic and/or accelerated electron beam installations. Dosimetry is described as the method of controlling progress of changes in irradiated material. Distribution of doses in irradiated material is described, allowing proper processing of polymers. Basics of radiation chemistry of polymers is explained, in particular of elastomers. Radiation-induced crosslinking is most interesting reaction, but it can be accompanied by undesired phenomena like chain scission. Specific phenomena like energy transfer occur in radiation processing; therefore, composites of elastomers with components of different radiation characteristics may show unexpected results. Examples of selected cases are described in details. Comparisons between traditional methods of crosslinking with these using ionizing radiation allow consideration of introduction of the latter into industrial praxis.
