Abstract
Various studies have been performed to determine the response of Lexan polymer to gamma irradiations. The track recording properties of certain polymers are changed under the influence of electromagnetic radiations and environmental conditions. In the present work, the effect of gamma irradiation on the activation energies of bulk and track etching in case of Lexan samples have been investigated. The attempt has also been made to study the influence of temperature on the bulk and track etch rates of gamma irradiated polymer. The studies reveal an increase in the bulk and track etches rates with gamma-dose. However, the activation energy associated with track and bulk etch rates at a given temperature and at a constant concentration decreases with gamma-dose.
