The aim of this research was to evaluate the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(butylene adipate co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) polymeric blend after the radiation process at different radiation doses. The irradiation was performed in an electron beam accelerator, with 1.5 MeV of energy and 25 mA electric current. The samples were irradiated with doses of 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 65 and 80 kGy. Both irradiated and non-irradiated samples were characterized by Izod pendulum impact resistance and tensile strength at rupture. The results showed an increase of 44% in relation to Izod impact resistance at a dose of 65 kGy. However, the module of elasticity decreased 56% and tensile strength at rupture decreased 55% at the same radiation dose. In relation to elongation, significant alterations caused by electron beam irradiation was not observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that irradiated blends could be used to make environmentally friendly products, which could absorb impact energy.

Composites based on ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM), butyl/halobutyl rubber and nanosilica were prepared by melt mixing and subjected to different doses of electron beam irradiation. The effect of irradiation dose on the mechanical properties, morphology, glass transition temperature, thermal stability and water uptake was investigated. The efficiency of the crosslinking by electron beam irradiation was analyzed by Charlesby–Pinner parameter evaluation and crosslink density measurements. The scanning electron microscopy data showed a good dispersion of nanosilica in the rubber matrix. An improvement in hardness and 100% modulus was revealed by increasing irradiation dose up to 150 kGy. The interaction between polymer matrix and nanosilica was analyzed using the Kraus equation. Additionally, these results indicated that the mechanical properties, surface characteristics, and water uptake were dependent on crosslink characteristics.
