Kinetics of free-radical decay in irradiated polyethylene terephthalate fibers

  • 1. North Carolina State Univ., Raleigh

Description

Free radicals produced in the γ-irradiation of PET fibers, decay at two different rates, a fast decay in the amorphous regions and a slower decay in the crystalline regions. The Q-function method was used to determine the mole fractions and second-order rate constants for the doses of 15 and 7.5 Mrad. The rate constants are greater for the 15-Mrad dose
