Abstract
Samples from PM-355 sheets were irradiated with gamma doses at levels between 10 and 120 kGy. The modifications in the irradiated samples have been studied as a function of dose using different characterization techniques such as thermo gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and color difference studies. The gamma irradiation of PM-355 in the dose range 20-80 kGy resulted in an improvement in its thermal stability with an increase in the activation energy of thermal decomposition. The melting temperature of the PM-355 polymer, Tm, was found to be a probe of the crystalline domains of the polymer. At the dose range 20-80 kGy, defect generated destroys the crystalline structure so reducing the melting temperature. In addition, structural property studies using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were performed on irradiated and non-irradiated PM-355 samples. The results indicate that both the degree of ordering and the absorbance of the PM-355 polymer are dependent on the gamma dose. Further, the transmission of these samples in the wavelength range 200-2500 nm, as well as any color changes, was studied. The color intensity E was greatly increased with increasing the gamma dose, accompanied by a significant increase in the whiteness and yellow color components.
