“…TiO 2 nanotubules were found to be advantageous in Li batteries [96] and fullerene tubules were reported to be effective temperature, pressure, and humidity sensors [97]. Layer-by-layer galvanic deposition of distinct materials led to axially structured elements such as Cu and Se [98,99], or Ni and CdSe/CdTe [100] showed nano-diode characteristics, whereas, sequential galvanic deposition of different ferromagnetic materials led to giant magnetic resonance, GMR [101]. Layer-by-layer chemical deposition of semiconductor/ metal/semiconductor led to the formation of cylindrical diodes, and metal/insulator/ metal structures resulted in concentric condensers [102].…”

Polyimide (PI, PMDA-ODA, C22H11N2O5, Kapton-H), is a class of polymer, extensively used in microelectronics and space technology, due to its exceptional mechanical, dielectric, and chemical properties. In space, PI heat shield experiences a harsh environment of energetic electrons, ultra-violet radiation, and atomic oxygen, causing degradation and erosion. Radiation-assisted physicochemical surface modulations in PI, in view of understanding and reducing the degradation in laboratory-based systems, are discussed in the chapter. Strategies for the design and development of 2D, flat, and flexible electromechanical devices by swift heavy ion induced bulk modifications in PI are also described. Fabrication of a couple of such devices, including their performance analysis, is presented.

“…Most of the works emphasize the ion damage/track formation in the inert polymer films [7]. Such track formation also yields to various electronic devices such as tunnel diode [54] and Tunable Electronic Material in Pores in Oxide on Semiconductors (TEMPOS) [7], electron tunnelling [55]. The cross-linking, chain-scissoring and degradation are the important events in polymer ion interaction.…”

Polymers are a class of materials widely used in different fields of applications. With imminent applications of polymers, the study of radiation induced changes in polymers has become an obvious scientific demand. The bombardment by ion beam radiations has become one of the most promising techniques in present day polymer research. When the polymers are irradiated, a variety of physical and chemical changes takes place due to energy deposition of the radiation in the polymer matrix. Scissoring, cross-linking, recombination, radical decomposition, etc. are some of the interesting changes that are obvious in polymers. The modification in polymer properties by irradiation depends mainly on the nature of radiation and the type of polymer used.Polymer electrolytes are obtained by modifying polymers by doping, complexing, or other chemical processes. In general, they suffer from low conductivity due to high crystallinity of the matrix. The effect of radiation on polymer electrolyte is expected to alter their crystalline nature vis-a-vis electrical properties. This review article shall elaborate modifications in the physical and chemical properties of polymer electrolytes and their composites. The variations in properties have been explored on PEO based polymer electrolyte and correlated with the parameters responsible for such changes. Also a comparison with different types of the polymers irradiated with a wide range of ion beams has been established.

“…In recent years, irradiation of polymer surfaces and thin films with swift heavy ions (SHIs) has been a particularly active area of research considering the promising application of these highly energetic ionizing radiations for the production of porous ion-track membranes with track diameters ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers [42][43][44][45][46][47]. Ion beam lithography is a very promising approach to obtain submicron features on polymeric materials [48,49].…”

The effect of various radiations to a polymer is more complex and intense, compared to that in other materials, in view of the more complex structure and low bonding energies (5 10 eV for covalent bonds of the main carbon chain). Since the energy delivered to the polymer in most irradiations (including even beta and gamma rays of 1 to 10 MeV) exceeds this energy by many orders of magnitude, there is a high risk of radiation damage to all kind of polymers. However, engineering polymers (PC, PMMA, PVC, etc. and newer ones) as well as electro-active and other functional polymers (conducting polymers, polymer electrolytes) are finding ever increasing applications, often as nanocomposites, e.g. chemical and biomedical applications, sensors, actuators, artificial muscles, EMI shielding, antistatic and anticorrosion coatings, solar cells, light emitters, batteries and supercapacitors. Critical applications in spacecrafts, particle accelerators, nuclear plants etc. often involve unavoidable radiation environments. Hence, we need to review radiation damage in polymers and encourage use of newer tools like positron annihilation spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Present review focuses on irradiation effects due to low energy ions (LEIs) and swift heavy ions (SHIs) on electro-active and engineering polymers, since gamma-and electron-beam-irradiations have been more widely studied and reviewed. Radiation damage mechanisms are also of great theoretical interest. Contents
