INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS FOR RADIATION CHEMISTRY (in French)

Journal Article · · Inds. atomiques
OSTI ID:4232904

The various industrial means of producing radiation and the interactions of various radiations with matter are discussed. The application of radiation chemistry to macromolecular systems in industry is discussed with respect to polymerization of monomers, irradiation of plastics (polyethylene) to improve properties, and graft copolymer synthesis. Radiation chemistry of polyphenyls, CO/sub 2/, and air is included because of their roles as reactor coolants and moderators. The present trend in industrial radiation chemistry is toward applications in heterogeneous catalysis and direct use of fission energy, (T.R.H.)
