Traeger, R K

The unclassified literature of radiation effects on the mechanical properties of polymers is reviewed. Neutron, gamma-ray, x-ray, electron, ultraviolet, and mixed (pile) radiation beams are considered. The bibliography is divided according to the various polymer types. Therefore one reference may be listed in several places. Sources which give data for many systems are put under one separate heading. Books containing data of radiation effects on mechanical properties of polymers are listed. A final division is made of radiation effects on the dynamic mechanical properties; an area of special irterest to the author. Approximately 294 different sources are listed. The majority of the bibliography was obtained from Chemical Abstracts (1955 to June, 1980), Nuclear Science Abstracts (1957 through August, 1982), and the Ergineering Index (1955 through 1981). The Physics Abstracts, Chemical Titles, and U. S. Government Research Reports were examined for the period of 1960 to September, 1962. Chemical Contents and the International Aerospace Abstracts of 1961 to September, 1982 were also checked. No attempt was made to analyze the data. (auth)
