Effects of gamma irradiation and moisture absorption on mechanical properties of PA6/PTFE blends
PA6/PTFE blends with varying polytetrafluoroethylene content from 3% to 15% (mass fraction) were irradiated by 60Co gamma-ray with various doses (20, 50 and 100 kGy) under ambient conditions. Moisture absorption ...
