Abstract

AbstractRadiation‐induced conductivities as high as 10−12 ohm−1 cm.−1 were measured in polyamide copolymers irradiated by x‐rays and Co60 γ‐rays at dose rates of 0.1–20 r/sec. No temperature dependence for the induced conductivities could be detected between 10 and 60°C., while dark conductivities followed the usual exponential rule with activation energies between 1 and 2 e.v. Preirradiation of the samples resulted in a decrease of the induced conductivities. This effect could be controlled by addition of benzophenone and hydroquinone. A phenomenological model is presented for a possible explanation of the results.
