Joining between Nylon-film and Silicone-rubber was successfully developed. Effects of EB-irradiation on joining strength of different polymers without adhesive materials were investigated by using homogeneous EB irradiation. The EB irradiation increased the joining strength of the joining sample between Nylon-film and Silicone-rubber. Excess EB-irradiation more than 0.3 MGy apparently decreased the joining strength. To discuss the influences of electron beam irradiation on the joining strength, ESR signals related to dangling bonds were observed. Since the EB irradiation produced detectable dangling bonds on Nylon-film, using dangling bonds probably joined the different polymers.
