Poly(triallyl phosphate) and its copolymers with allyl diglycol carbonate as solid state nuclear track detectors.

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.

Role of intermediate species in the formation of ion tracks in PADC: A review

“…As stated by Hossain et al, SAXS also can provide a technology for investigation of the precise shape and size of nano-pores during in situ etching experiments, where also the early evolution of pore formation can be followed [114]. This article may help understanding chemistry of the fundamental aspects of nuclear track formation in PADC and thus provide information to those who are developing new solid state nuclear track detector polymer materials [115].…”

Synthesis of Poly[Allyl Chloride - Co Acrylic Acid] Polymers for Nucleic Track Detection from Alpha Particles

“…On the another side, the researchers Mandrekar et al, prepared of homo-polymer from diethylene-glycol bis (allylsulphonate) and its more than a few copolymers with allyl-diglycol-carbonate and their preliminary assessment as detector for nuclear track is described. The monomer is synthesized by reacting diethylene-glycol with allyl-sulphonylchloride in presence of pyridine as a base [8][9][10][11][12]. The aims of this research is to synthesis of new polymers for detector from solid state nuclear trak of two novel poly Allyl cloride -co Acrylic acid and diethanol amine of polymeric detectors of alpha charged particle tracks.…”
