AB  - The temperature ageing of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) modified by 
      accelerated electrons was studied. Commodity plastic HDPE was used as a basic 
      polymer material which was modified by radiation cross-linking. This polymer was 
      used because of its excellent processability and chemical resistance. Plastic 
      injection molding technology was used for the production of test specimens. These 
      specimens were modified with the dose of radiation 33, 66, 99, 132, 165, and 198 
      kGy. The prepared specimens were tested to determine: gel content, degree of 
      swelling, temperature stability, and changes in mechanical properties after 
      temperature ageing. The results were determined by scanning electron microscopy 
      (SEM) analysis on the fracture surfaces. The results of this study confirm that 
      modification of HDPE by radiation cross-linking has a significant effect on 
      increasing temperature stability. It has been shown that HDPE modified by 
      radiation cross-linking can withstand temperatures exceeding the melting point of 
      the original HDPE for a short-term.
