The SEM images show the cross-sections of NBR and SBR elastomers exposed to the He + ion beam with a fluency of 1×10^17 cm-2.Irradiation with a high-energy ion beam causes cross-linking of the polymer surface layer. The core of the non-ionized material remains flexible and can stretch the rigid ...
