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).
