Tóm tắt

The radiation-chemical yield of macroradicals was found to be many times higher under exposure of polymers (polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and polycarbonate) to ionizing radiation at extremely low dose rates (0.1–1 mGy/s) in a vacuum at room temperature. A model of the radiolysis was suggested, which is based on the mechanism of preferable generation and stabilization of macroradicals in the neighborhood of already existing macroradicals course of polymer irradiation. This mechanism results in the formation of free-radical clusters fficiency of spatially correlated generation of macroradicals, the degree of swarming, and arming in a number of polymers and polymer-based scintillators were found in ments
