Abstract:
The effects of gamma rays on molecular properties of a poly allyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) polymer, commercially named as CR-39, have been studied. PADC films were exposed to gamma rays at doses ranging from 0.5 to 3 MGy. Gamma exposure induces considerable molecular modifications in PADC films. These modifications were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR absorption spectra of the gamma irradiated samples show a change in the intensity and the shape of the absorption bands of the chemical groups forming the PADC polymer relative to the pristine one. We have determined G-values for the loss of carbonate ester and ether chemical moieties within PADC. By comparing our G-values with those from other studies, we show that dose rate and dose significantly affect the radiation chemical yields and play an important role of molecular bond kinematics.
