X-ray induced photoconductivity measurements reveal that the radiation-induced conductivity of polyethylene terepthalate films is greatly reduced by doping this polymer with 2,4,6-trinitrofluorenone which acts as a deep trap for the photocarriers. The radiation-induced conductivity of this doped dielectric is reduced to 1 percent of the value for the undoped material and is lower than that observed in commercial polymer films we have studied. The preparation and dielectric properties of the doped films are described.
