The tensile strength of PP/POSS nanocomposites increased with an increasing POSS content up to 5 wt% and with an increasing absorption dose up to 50 kGy. The tensile strength of irradiated PP/POSS nanocomposites decreased at high absorption dose due to the main chain scission of PP by radiation. The PP/POSS nanocomposites showed improved thermal stability due to the formation of crosslinked network between PP and POSS by radiation.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2009.03.037} (DOI).
