Kesan komposisi adunan, agen sambung-silang, radiasi alur elektron dan gabungan radiasi serta agen sambung silang ke atas sifat-sifat adunan polietilena linear berketumpatan rendah/poli(vinil alkohol) telah dikaji. Sambung silang disediakan menggunakan asid maleik dan 3-(trimetoksisilil)propil metakrilat sebagai agen sambung silang dan dikumil peroksida (DCP) sebagai pemula, sementara trimetilolpropana triakrilat (TMPTA) sebagai agen sambung silang yang dipilih untuk proses radiasi. The effect of blend ratio, crosslinking agent, electron beam irradiation and the combination of irradiation and crosslinking agent on the properties of linear low density polyethylene/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends were investigated. The crosslinking was prepared using maleic acid and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate as crosslinking agents and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as initiator, while trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) was crosslinking agent chosen for irradiation process.
