Re: Degradation of plastic from radiation levels



Dear all,

    a quick look on "google" turned up the following reference:



Radiation Effects on Polymers

Edited by ROGER L. CLOUGH, Sandia National Laboratory, and SHALABY W.

SHALABY, Clemson University



Here is the most extensive resource on polymer radiation effects to be

available in more than a decade. This new volume reviews the fundamental

chemistry and physics of polymer-radiation interaction and examines recent

progress in most major areas of the field. Its 38 chapters, written by

leading experts from around the world, cover: fundamentals of polymer

radiation chemistry; technological applications of radiation to polymers

(including radiation processing; radiation curing; sterilization;

cross-linking, polymerization, grafting, X-ray resists, and others); and

degradation of stabilization of irradiated polymers (including nuclear

plants, scintillation detectors for particle physics, and others).
