Abstract
The present invention relates, in part, to high energy processes for manufacturing cross-linked polyolefins. The polyolefins described herein are capable of undergoing further processing without compromising their physical properties and dynamic performance.
Claims22
A method of selectively cross-linking a polymer material using a particle beam device, comprising,
- selectively treating a portion of the polymer material with a particle beam for a sufficient period of time to produce a cross-linked portion, wherein
- said treatment results in the polymer material having an average cross-linked density of about 20% to about 100%, and
- wherein the polymer material has substantially the same properties as a polymer material having the same chemical composition and a higher cross-linked density.
A product made by any one of the proceeding claims.
