“…Besides of the hydrogen release upon irradiation, oxidation is another important effect of such a treatment. The irradiation of the samples in the air leads to their oxidation, which can dramatically change the material properties [9][10][11][12][13]. The physicochemical processes in polyethylene do not stop after irradiation, but take place over a period of years due to persistence of resonancestabilized allyl radicals [13].…”

“…Recently, new areas of applications emerge, among them implantation into ceramics and polymers. In the latter case the studies were focused mainly on biomedical applications [1]. Elastomers are traditionally treated by using wet surface chemistry, however, advanced elastomers are hardly susceptible for such a treatment.…”

Studies on the use of energetic ion beams for material modication have been initiated originally within the Manhattan project and have been continuously developed since then. The consecutive steps were devoted to the studies of ion implantation into semiconductors, metals, ceramics and, most recently, organic materials. One of the latest areas of applications is modication of elastomers, commonly known as rubbers. In the present paper the results of the studies on structural and functional properties of irradiated elastomers will be presented with the special emphasis on the materials used in aviation and military applications. Among the structural modications, a massive loss of hydrogen atoms appears as the most peculiar characteristic of irradiated elastomers. Functional properties of irradiated rubbers: microhardness and friction coecient, will be presented and application potential of the materials discussed.

“…This leads to significant changes in structural [7][8][9][10][11] and thermal [12] properties due to radiochemical alterations such as unsaturation, evolution of gases [13], formation of carbon clusters, change in free volume [6], creation of defects and amorphization [6,14] etc. As a result, electron beam irradiation of polymers has shown great potential for the fields such as microelectronics, biomedical, device technology, nano-materials and materials science [15][16][17].…”
