ANTIRADS FOR NITRILE RUBBER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4070511
The mechanisms of radiation damage and protection in organic materials were investigated and a total of 118 different nitrile vulcanizates containing potential antirads was evaluated in a screening program. Several antirads were found which imparted a significant degree of protection to nitrile rubber exposed to Co/sup 60/ gamma radiation. A good antirad such as 1,1'-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazine imparted approximately the same degree of radiation resistance to nitrile rubber as is inherent in natural rubber. This investigation also demonstrated the existence of certain structural correlations by which it may be possible to select or synthesize new and even more efficient antirads. (auth)
