Zusammenfassung:The aim of this work was to study the ionizing radiation effects on polypropylene/20% of rice husk ash composites. The composites were irradiated by electron beam at different doses and the mechanical and thermal properties were evaluated using tensile strength, Izod impact, hardness, softening temperature, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The results showed that the properties decreased by increasing irradiation dose due to chain scission.
