Abstract:
It is a mature technology producing single-use syringes by polypropylene(PP). But the traditional sterilization process for single-use syringe pollutes the environment, and the residues endanger the health of users. Irradiation sterilization, instead of traditional sterilization process, is the developing trend. However, the traditional PP does not have the ability of radiation resistance. These methods can improve the radiation resistance ability of PP effectively by adding the stabilizer or floating agent. Toughening or temperature treatment can have the same function. Radiation-resistant PP is introduced in this paper. Furthermore, the developing trends for the materials are discussed.
