There is provided a blend of poly(p-methylstyrene) with a small amount of a polyfunctional monomer, such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. The blend can be formed into shaped articles, such as food containers, which can be crosslinked by irradiation at low doses. Such irradiated articles are resistant to microwave oven conditions.

A method of making a shaped article that is resistant to fatty foods under microwave oven conditions, that comprises forming a blend consisting essentially of poly(methylstyrene) containing at least 90 weight percent poly(p-methyl styrene) with between about 0.1 weight percent and about 10 weight percent and about 10 weight percent of a polyfunctional monomer into a foamed or unfoamed sheet, thermoforming said sheet to produce a shaped article, and irradiating the shaped article with sufficient ionizing radiation to effect crosslinking sufficient to render said shaped article resistant to fatty foods under microwave oven conditions.
