Dosimetric Aspects of Nylon6 and Its Copolymer

Abstract

Nylon 6 (PA6) is an industrially important polymer used for different applications. However dosimetric applications of the polymer were not attempted previously, In this context, the authors made n attempt in this regard with ESR as experimental technique. ESR spectra of irradiated PA6 and its copolymers have been recorded at various radiation doses .Linearity of ESR intensity against radiation dose has been verified. The results suggest that nylon 6 and its copolymers are excellent materials for dosimetric applications.
