Results obtained from both gel content tests show that degree of cross-linking in amorphous regions is dependent on dose. A significant improvement in tensile strength of neat EVA samples is obtained upon electron-beam radiation up to 210 kGy. Similarly, hardness properties of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) improvewith increasing electron beam irradiation. This article deals with the impacts of electron beam (EB) irradiation on the properties of LDPE and Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) as the two common based formulations for wire and cable applications. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing date: 2017 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Sabet, M. and Soleimani, H.
