The newly developed amorphous PFA was irradiated with -rays under different conditions. It was found that the radiation crosslinking occurred even at temperatures ranging from 0 to 60C, thereby significantly enhancing the mechanical properties. This can be attributed to high molecular mobility due to the glass translation temperature of the PFA as low as 12 to 42C.
