Effect of γ-radiation on the electrical conductivity of polycaproamide fibres

The electrical conductivity of polycaproamide fibres decreases by more than 100 times in the gamma -radiation dose range of 0 less than or equal to D less than or equal to 1.6 MGy. The change in the conductivity of irradiated PCA fibres is unambiguously correlated with a change in their structure, s...

More Information
Summary:The electrical conductivity of polycaproamide fibres decreases by more than 100 times in the gamma -radiation dose range of 0 less than or equal to D less than or equal to 1.6 MGy. The change in the conductivity of irradiated PCA fibres is unambiguously correlated with a change in their structure, strength, and thermomechanical properties. Rupture of chemical bonds in the polymer chain is the basic process in gamma -irradiation of PCA fibres in air.
