Abstract

The applications of the radiation processing involve the deep modifications in the irradiated materials starting with molecular scissions. The specific answers illustrate the progress of chemical changes onto the foreseen goals, which are related to the exposure parameters: dose, dose rate, environment. The type of bonds influences the radiation resistance by their energies and the reactivities of intermediates are the main criterion on which the selection of technological purpose is based. The initial structure of radiation processed material, the radiation stability of main component, the proposed formulation or the manufacture conditions are responsible for the amplitude of conversion or for the process yields. The essential aspects of radiochemical behavior of processed polymers are related to the followed mechanisms, which have particular features provided by material functionality. The main processes involving radiation effects: crosslinking and grafting as well as degradation are analyzed on different polymer structures, on various irradiation parameters, on the material availabilities to high modification levels under high energy radiation exposure. The radiation processing of polymers by their exposure to different types of irradiation sources is presented for the illustration of general possibilities offered by industrial applications. This review is relevant for the extension of applications which can be adapted to several conditions. The presented examples are start points for further studies in which raw materials can be changed as well as blend formulations. The open directions are available based on the provided information.
