Investigation of tensile properties and tear resistance of polypropylene film modified by irradiation

Abstract

Results of investigation of rupture strength, ultimate elongation, and tear resistance of a flat polypropylene film oriented biaxially and modified with use of the electron radiation are presented. It was found that the rupture strength and ultimate elongation of the sample under study dropped to values several times lower when the radiation dose increased from 25 to 500 kGy. At the same time, tear resistance of the sample decreased very quickly, what disqualifies the film as a wrapping material.
