Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Sterilization What are some different types of ionizing radiation? May 12, 2020 / September 23, 2025 by ebeam Radiation with wavelengths shorter than 10–10 m is considered ionizing radiation, because it can ionize the molecules it encounters. Gamma, x-ray, and e-beam are examples of ionizing radiation, whereas microwaves, radiowaves, and UV are considered nonionizing. Read more »

Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Radiation Chemistry Rules: What is Glass Transition Temperature? August 13, 2018 / October 9, 2025 by ebeam Electron beam crosslinking can enhance different polymer properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, high-heat properties, abrasion and chemical resistance, and environmental stress crack resistance. But not all polymers crosslink. So how can you tell if your polymer is a good fit for e-beam crosslinking? One of the factors that help us know if a polymer […] Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Property Improvements Crash Course Recap: Crosslinkable Polymers April 12, 2018 / October 2, 2019 by ebeam [siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Video”][/siteorigin_widget] The last E-BEAM Crash Course tackled the subject of crosslinkable polymers. But just what are crosslinkable polymers? Ionizing radiation produced by the electron beam breaks bonds within the molecules of the polymers. With some polymers, these bonds reform in a beneficial way, which we call crosslinking. For example, polyethylene is a polymer that […] Read more »
