Abstract

Electron spin resonance investigations on the effect of electron bombardment of nanocomposites obtained by dispersing carbon nanotubes within styrene-isoprene-styrene are reported. The experimental results revealed the absence of radiation-induced free radicals and a negligible effect of electron beam irradiation on the electron spin resonance spectra of carbon nanotubes.
