THE INFRARED SPECTRA OF POLYETHYLENE BEFORE AND AFTER NUCLEAR IRRADIATION (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4108302
The effects of fast-neutron and radiation on the l- to l6- region of the polyethylene spectrum are reported. A band was found at 9.83 which is assigned to disubstituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes. Ring-linking of polymer end groups was observed to take place during irradiation, accompanied by a loss of hydrogen. Studies were made on the extent of infrared absorbance as a linear function of Polyethylene film thickness. (C.J.G.)
