摘要
In the application of some polymers as track detectors, the attention should be paid to the fact that the track recording properties of these polymers are changed under the influence of certain parameters, such as the electromagnetic radiations and environmental conditions. In this work the etching effects of Co-60 gamma irradiated CR-39 polycarbonate have been studied. For deeper study of the structural changes in CR-39, the FTIR and UV-visible spectra have been analyzed. The FTIR spectra shows considerable changes due to the gamma exposure. The contribution of degradation mechanism is discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
