Summary

This book focuses on the effect of radiation on polymers and the versatility of its industrial applications. By helping readers understand and solve problems associated with radiation processing of polymers, it serves as an important reference and fills a gap in the literature. Radiation processing can significantly improve important properties of polymers, however, there are still misconceptions about processing polymers using ionizing radiation. This book explains processing of radiation processed polymeric materials used in many industrial products including cars, airplanes, computers, and TVs. It even addresses "green" issues like biomaterials and hydrogels.
