Abstract

Kinetic thermogravimetric technique was used to study the effect of gamma irradiation on the poly allyl diglycol carbonates (PADC) within the dose range from 50 to Gy. The approach of Coats-Redfern was used to analyze the data. Results showed that low doses around 50 Gy make the polymer slightly more resistive to heat treatment. Higher radiation doses cause severe effects in the samples accompanied by the formation of lower molecular mass species and consequent crosslinking. Results support the domination of re-polymerization and crosslinking for the γ radiation interaction PADC at dose below about Gy, while the situation is inverted above Gy in which chain secession dominates.
