Radiation pre-crosslinked polyolefin film and preparation method, and related encapsulation method and encapsulation assembly are provided. The radiation pre-crosslinked polyolefin film for encapsulation is prepared by preparing a film after mixing polyolefin raw materials together; using a radiation energy source to irradiate the film, wherein the radiation energy source directly stimulate a crosslinking reaction of the polyolefin raw materials; adjusting an irradiation dosage of the radiation energy source, such that a crosslinking degree of a pre-crosslinked portion of the film reaches about 3 % to about 95%; and adjusting the irradiation dosage of the radiation energy source, such that the pre-crosslinked portion of the film has a thickness of about 5% to about 100% by a total thickness of the film, wherein: that the pre-crosslinked portion has the thickness of about 100% by the total thickness of the film means the film is all pre-crosslinked.

Exemplary arrangements include articles and methods of producing plastic material objects. Such objects may be configured for use as an ocular implant, and intraocular lens, or a contact lens. Exemplary methods include ablating and polishing plastic material in a processing region of a plastic material object through operation of at least one laser such that some material in the region is de-crosslinked. Exemplary methods also include subsequently irradiating the processing region to at least partially re-cross-link the plastic material.

Provided are methods and systems for manufacturing and using heat-shrink elastomeric. An example method of manufacturing a heat-shrink elastomeric element comprises providing a thermoplastic elastomeric element having a first shape; modifying the thermoplastic elastomeric element to produce a thermoset elastomeric element having the first shape; heating the thermoset elastomeric element to a temperature of at least the glass transition temperature of the thermoset elastomeric element; adjusting the first shape of the thermoset elastomeric element to produce a second shape with at least one dimension greater than that of the first shape; and cooling the thermoset elastomeric element to a temperature below that of the glass transition temperature of the thermoset elastomeric element to produce the heat-shrink elastomeric element.
