Radiation chemistry: principles and applications
- eds.
The purpose of this book is to present a detailed overview of radiation chemistry, including physical foundations such as interaction of radiation with matter, description of typical experimental systems, and applications in biological systems and industrial processes. In order to accomplish this ambitious plan, the editors selected as author of each individual chapter a scientist actively engaged in research in the area in question. The first eight chapters are concerned with fundamental topics, including the interaction of radiation with matter, formation of reactive intermediates including electrons, ions, radicals, and excited molecules; and theoretical aspects including track models, diffusion kinetics, and theories of the solvated electron. The next eight chapters discuss radiolysis of various types of chemical systems including gases, water, and aqueous solutions, organic liquids, colloids, and organic solids, alkali halides, and synthetic polymers and biopolymers. The final four chapters concern applications to such areas as biochemistry and radiobiology, radiolysis of microorganisms and mammalian cells, and industrial radiation processing including sterilization.
