2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). This was done aiming at the production of new
materials suitable for bioapplications. Samples with different monomer concentrations were
prepared from LDPE particles by gamma irradiation, following different irradiation protocols,
including irradiation in presence and absence of air. The samples were characterized by
thermal analysis techniques (DSC and TGA) and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy …
