Title: Temperature Dependence of Irradiation Damage to Polythene

Journal Article · · Nature (London)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1038/199172a0· OSTI ID:4701198

Comparison of measurements of radiation damage to polythene exposed to a 4.3-Mev linear accelerator and in a reactor led to the conclusion that radiation damage of polythene is temperature dependent. Applications of radiation in raising or lowering the elastic modulus of polythene are suggested. (C.H.)
