These compounds perform a good tension resistance to the impact and the humidity absorption being used at the present time and also are in the automobile industry in parts underneath the hood, especially in the radiator frames. The aim of this work is to study the effect of ionizing radiation on the properties of polyamide 6 with fiberglass reinforcement and undergone to different irradiation doses. Samples were prepared and irradiated on JOB 188 accelerator with an electron beam energy of 1.5 MeV in air with different doses and a dose rate of 27.99 kGy/h. Afterward, the properties of the non-irradiated and irradiated polyamide 6 with fiberglass reinforcement were evaluated.1708-1710openAccesselasticityelectron beamsexperimental datafiberglassfracture propertiesimpact strengthphysical radiation effectspolyamidesradiation dosestensile propertiesArtigo de periódico11-127610.1016/j.radphyschem.2007.05.004https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7968-2117
