RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Project: Crosslinking thermoplastic elastomers by electron beam (Industry Sponsored Project)

• Cross-linking styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) by electron beam (E-beam) radiation.

Investigated the effect of E-beam on mechanical, viscoelastic, thermal properties and

morphology of SBCs via GPC, NMR, FT-IR, DSC, TGA, DMA, AFM, optical microscope

and Instron electromechanical test.

• Investigated the E-beam radiation cross-linking mechanism of SBCs, as well as

homopolymers of polyisoprene and polybutadiene.

• Screened E-beam sensitizers (pro-rads) for styrene- block-isoprene/butadiene-block-styrene

(S-I/B-S). Found optimum pro-rads for S-I/B-S to crosslink at lower E-beam radiation dose.
