| Summary: | Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is a promising composite material to protect against ionizing radiation. The effect of mechanical activation and radiation exposure on the polymer structure has been studied. Mechanical activation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene was carried out for 30 s, 1, and 2 min in a high-energy water-cooled planetary ball mill AGO-2, followed by its further investigation using X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differentialscanning calorimetry. |
