Gamma-irradiation of carbon nanotube yarns in air has significantly improved the tensile strength and modulus of the yarns, presumably because of an increased interaction between the individual nanotubes. The improvement has been much greater for tightly structured yarns than for loosely structured

## Abstract Rice husk ash (RHA) and silica‐filled nitrile rubber (NBR) composites were prepared using a laboratory‐size two‐roll mill. The mechanical properties and water absorption were studied before and after being exposed to gamma irradiation from 25 to 200 kGy. The tensile strength increased w
The structure of mouse skin collagen fibrils treated with 500 rad gamma irradiation was studied by electron microscopy. Examination of specimens after 1, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment revealed collagen fibrils consistently larger in diameter than those from normal specimens with the majority of irradia
