The time dependences of the density of radiation-induced current in polystyrene, polybutadiene, and styrene-butadiene block copolymers of various composition were studied upon varying the electric field strength and radiation dose rate. Significant deviations of the values of the radiation-induced conductivity constant A{sub m} and dispersion parameter {alpha} from those expected for additive contributions of each component into the radiation-induced conductivity were revealed. Conclusions on the charge carriers generated during irradiation transfer from polybutadiene to polystyrene microdomains were drawn.
