The influence of low‐ and high‐linear energy transfers on some physical properties of poly(methyl‐methacrylate) samples

Abstract: Clear poly(methyl-methacrylate)-PMMAdosimeter is widely used in food irradiations. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is one of the unique tools used for studying free-volumes and openvolume type defects in solid media. The Vicker's microhardness measurements offer a simple and nondestructive tool for investigating the mechanical behavior of polymer materials. PALS as well as microhardness measurements were carried out for PMMA samples, irradiated with lowand high-linear energy transfers (LET).… Show more

“…Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer that is odorless, translucent, tasteless, or a cream-colored granular powder [6]. PVA has good properties that distinguish it from other polymers, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and good thermal stability [7]. It contains a carbon chain backbone fastened to methane carbons with hydroxyl functionalities, which is considered the source of hydrogen bonding that helps to form polymer mixtures [8,9].…”
