Electron beam irradiation enhanced varistor properties in ZnO nanowire

Electron Beam Irradiation Applications

The irradiation of materials with electron beams or X rays is used extensively to enhance or modify their physical, chemical or biological properties. These electron beam “irradiators” cover a very wide range of accelerators technology, beam current and energies to produce a wide variety of products, mostly with polymers. They also are used for curing ink, coatings, and adhesives as well as for...

Electron beam irradiation method to change polypropylene application: Rheology and thermomechanical properties

Irradiation of polymers is one of the most effective and economical methods for modifying their properties and for changing their applications. In this study, an extrusion grade polypropylene (PP) was treated by electron beam irradiation to produce a PP suitable for injection molding. Irradiation was carried out at different doses (0-80 kGy) under atmosphere air and at ambient temperature. Melt...

Formation of Pt–Zn Alloy Nanoparticles by Electron-Beam Irradiation of Wurtzite ZnO in the TEM

As is well documented, platinum nanoparticles, promising for catalysts for fuel cells, exhibit better catalytic activities, when alloyed with Zn. Pre-existing syntheses of Pt-Zn alloy catalysts are composed of a number of complex steps. In this study, we have demonstrated that nanoparticles of Pt-Zn alloys are simply generated by electron-beam irradiation in a transmission electron microscope o...
