New Green Polymeric Composites Based on Hemp and Natural Rubber Processed by Electron Beam Irradiation

A new polymeric composite based on natural rubber reinforced with hemp has been processed by electron beam irradiation and characterized by several methods. The mechanical characteristics: gel fraction, crosslink density, water uptake, swelling parameters, and FTIR of natural rubber/hemp fiber compo...
