by Stephen C. Lapin, Ph.D., PCT Engineered Systems The RadTech trade association and the associated conferences and publications traditionally have focused on UV/EB curing technology. Curing often is characterized by the rapid conversion of a layer liquid coating, ink or adhesive to a solid cross-linked polymer state. It is well known that free-radical UV curing requires a … [Read more...] about EB Q&A: What Types of Processes are Possible Using Electron Beam Treatment of Materials?

Modification of Polymer Substrates Using Electron Beam-Induced Graft Copolymerization
by Dr. Stephen C. Lapin, PCT Engineered Systems LLC Introduction Low energy electron beam (EB) systems with accelerating potentials up to 300 kV have been used in industrial processes for more than 30 years. Most of the systems feature a self-shielded design, meaning the systems include all shielding needed to prevent emission of secondary X-rays as the substrate is … [Read more...] about Modification of Polymer Substrates Using Electron Beam-Induced Graft Copolymerization
