TL;DRAbstract

Low-dose radiation crosslinking has a greater effect on viscosity at low shear rates than at high shear rates. Thus, form stability of the shaped plastic as it leaves the die can be improved without affecting processing conditions. Measurements with a torque rheometer demonstrate dependence of rheological behavior on absorbed radiation dosage.
