Adhesive properties of gamma-irradiated polyketone

详细

The effect of polyketone (PK) γ-irradiation dose on the energy characteristics of the PK surface, the specific free surface energy, and the interfacial energy at the boundary between polar (water) and nonpolar (octane) liquids has been studied for the first time. The most significant changes in the energy characteristics of the surface occur at doses up to 100 kGy, and improvement in PK adhesion to the polar and nonpolar phases is observed at doses above 75 and 200 kGy, respectively.
