The main objective of the presented article is the research of influence irradiation dosage on mechanical properties of materials: PP unfilled and PP filled by 25% of glass fibres. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, modulus, bending stress and impact strength by Charpy test) were examined in dependence on absorbed dose of the β electron radiation on various conditions and were compared with non-irradiated samples.
