This work is related to the study of the effect of electron-beam processing on the physical and mechanical properties of polymer materials (PEI and PET). After electron-beam processing with a beam current of 30 mA and an energy of 1.2 keV, the microhardness of the polymers increased by a factor of 1.5 compared to the initial state. PET polymer samples show a decrease in wear rate of up to 30 %, and resistance to abrasion of the polymer increased by 1.3 times compared to the original sample. The results of the conducted studies have shown the prospects of using electron irradiation for increasing the operational characteristics of polymer materials.
