Description

This paper outlines the effects of electron beam irradiation on surgical rubber gloves. The tensile strength, elongation at break and modulus were evaluated as function of dose range 20-100 kGy minimum dose, dose uniformity ratio, 3.1, and both, accelerated and normal aging, were used to study the stability of the irradiated gloves after irradiation. The surgical gloves were found to be useful up to the highest dose tested. (orig.)
