γ irradiation of poly(vinyl chloride) for medical applications

Creators

Description

In this work we have studied the effect of γ radiation on poly (vinyl chloride). Radicals produced by irradiation were investigated by EPR measurements at room temperature and the formation of conjugated double bonds was probed by UV-VIS absorbance measurements; samples were also submitted to infrared measurements to be analysed in terms of oxidation products
