Abstract
This paper describes the design and development of new polymers for solid state nuclear track detection. A monomer triallyl phosphate (TAP) has been synthesized and cast homo/ copolymerized with allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC) to get transparent thin films of poly(triallyl phosphate) (PTAP) and poly(TAP-co-ADC) polymers respectively, which were successfully explored for the first time for detection of alpha particles and fission fragments. The polymerization kinetics studies were carried out to generate constant rate polymerization profile for TAP and TAP: ADC monomer mixture. Poly(TAP-co-ADC) copolymer in 3:7 wt./wt. ratio showed better radiation sensitivity as compared to indigenously prepared PADC and commercially available CR-39 detectors.
