Abstract
Radiation processing is a technology that changes the structure (ionization effect) or state (excitation) of substances by using the ionization and excitation effects inside substances caused by the interaction between rays and substances. When ionization occurs after the interaction, the formed ion pairs, free radicals, electrons, or long-chain molecules in the excited state, and other active groups or particles will undergo a series of reactions to form new chemical bonds, which causes crosslinking between polymer molecular chains and transform the two-dimensional structure into a three-dimensional network structure, which can improve the mechanical and electrical properties of materials. The molecular chains of some polymers will break and degrade into small molecules under the high-energy radiation of particle beams, that is, radiation degradation. Some broken small molecules react with the main chain to form grafts. The whole process is a mixed reaction, that is, polymer chains are crosslinked, degraded, and grafted in the process of radiation. Which reaction is dominant, the characteristics of which reactor will be shown on the macro level.
