N2 - The development of polymeric materials by high energy radiation processing has become very popular for their use in high-performance and advanced applications. Both the electron beam and gamma irradiation of different polymeric materials, e.g., single as well as multi-component systems (polymer blends, composites, and nanocomposites) have been studied for wire and cable, automotive, heat-shrinkable tube, aerospace, aircraft, transportation, agriculture, sports, biomedical, and nuclear applications. The grafting of monomer on the different polymeric backbones, intra- or interphase chain crosslinking, and scission in various polymer blends, composites and nanocomposites have been explored by electron beam and gamma radiation processing. Electron beam, or gamma radiation crosslinking improves the mechanical properties, chemical resistance, insulation, environmental resistance, thermal stability, and morphology of polymer blends and composites. This chapter focuses on the effect of gamma and electron beam irradiation on the grafting of functional monomer on the polymeric backbone, chain crosslinking, and end-use properties of polymer blends, composites, and nanocomposites. In this chapter, various polymeric multi-component systems have been studied using low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, nylon-6, ethylene-propylene diene elastomer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polypropylene, and the effect of reinforcements such as fibers and fillers (clay, mica, and magnesium hydroxide) on property and application developments.
