Blends of low-density polyethylene, LDPE /waste tire dust, WTD were prepared by using a Haake mixer at 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40 blend ratios. The blends were irradiated by using a 3.0 MeV electron beam (EB) machine at 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kGy irradiation doses. All the samples were t...
