TLDR
In this article, the effects of gamma and electron irradiation on virgin and recycled polyethylene were compared and their mechanical, thermal and chemical properties were analyzed, showing that VPE samples showed higher crosslinking percentages than RPE samples in all range of doses studied, unirradiated RPE sample had higher values on their tensile properties than VPE.
