Abstract

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components used in medical devices as flanges may lose their frictional property on gamma sterilization due to radiation degradation. Frictional load, glass transition temperature, linear expansion coefficient, dynamic load expansion and specific heat measurements have been carried out on PVC flanges to investigate the effect of irradiation and formulations have been developed for eliminating the undesired effects.
