Abstract: A review on the current and emerging applications for electron beam processing shows that polymers
dominate the industry. Electron beam treatment of polymers has been extensively researched to understand how
to exploit and control the effects of ionizing radiation to design and manufacture commercially viable new
products. Some examples of recently established and newly emerging applications with high potential for
commercialization is reviewed in this paper under the subtitles of crosslinking, curing, grafting and chain
scissioning.
