摘要
PMMA, PVC and their five blends in different compositions were irradiated by gamma-rays of 2 Mrad dose. A comparative study of structural, morphological and mechanical properties of irradiated and non-irradiated samples was carried out. The structural changes that have taken place due to irradiation are seen in the FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra. The ester group is mainly affected in PMMA and the blends. The XRD results have confirmed that the irradiated samples are more amorphous in nature than the non-irradiated ones. The DSC study reveals that some irradiated samples undergo cross-linking, whereas some of them undergo degradation. One of the irradiated blend compositions has become thermally more stable. The SEM study suggests that the irradiated samples have undergone curing. An improvement in the mechanical properties has been observed in some of the irradiated blend compositions.
