Zusammenfassung:THE PRESENT INVENTION INCLUDES METHODS RELATING TO THE SETTING OF FLUIDS OR SLURRIES IN A WELLBORE. IN ONE EMBODIMENT, A METHOD OF ISOLATING A PORTION A WELLBORE BY PREPARING A SEALANT COMPOSITION COMPRISING A FLUID COMPONENT AND A POLYMERIC ADDITIVE COMPONENT, PLACING THE SEALANT COMPOSITION INTO A WELLBORE AND SUBJECTING THE SEALANT COMPOSITION TO IONIZING RADIATION. THE IONIZING RADIATION CAN CAUSE BONDING BETWEEN POLYMERIC ADDITIVE COMPONENTS AND CREATE A POLYMER MATRIX WITHIN THE SEALANT COMPOSITION THAT INCREASES THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF THE SEALANT COMPOSITION.
