Abstract

This work investigates the formulation of a radiation-curable coating that integrates functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNT) to improve surface characteristics. Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) was employed as the monomer, with epoxy acrylate and urethane acrylate as oligomers and Irgacure-500 as the photoinitiator. To cure the coatings, the formulations were subjected to ultraviolet (UV) light, and the surface properties were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), pendulum hardness testing, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that altering the ratios of f-CNT in the formulations have a considerable impact on the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the coating. The findings show that ideal compositions of these additives improve the hardness, crosslinking density, and thermal stability of the cured films, offering insight into their potential

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive chemical, structural, and thermal characterization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flakes subjected to electron beam irradiation at doses of 0, 40, and 120 kGy. Post-consumer PET bottle flakes were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to determine irradiation-induced modifications. FTIR results reveal noticeable variations in key functional groups, particularly in the ester (C=O and C–O) and aromatic regions, indicating chain scission, partial cross-linking, and oxidation with increasing radiation doses. XRD analysis shows a progressive reduction in peak intensity and an increase in peak broadening, signifying decreased crystallinity and enhanced amorphous character due to structural disorder. TGA measurements demonstrate improved thermal stability of irradiated PET, with major degradation shifting from ~450 °C in the non-irradiated sample to ~480 °C after irradiation, and a clearer two-stage degradation pattern associated with structural rearrangements. These findings confirm that electron beam irradiation induces significant yet controlled modifications on PET’s molecular structure, crystallinity, and thermal behavior. Such property alterations highlight the potential of electron beam treatment as an effective pre-processing approach to enhance the recyclability and performance of waste PET, contributing to more sustainable plastic waste management strategies
