Influence of Electron Beam Irradiation on Impact Value of Acryl Resin

Influence of electron beam (EB) irradiation on the impact value of Acryl resin was studied. EB irradiation of less than 10.8 kJ kg-1 (kGy) apparently increased the impact value. EB irradiation from 10.8 to 21.6 kJ kg-1 (kGy) decreased the impact value, although it was larger than that of the untreated sample. The impact value enhancement by EB irradiation was explained by increasing the bending strength.
