Irradiation of Polymers : Fundamentals and Technological Applications

This book: discusses structural and physiochemical effects of irradiation and presents techniques to model and monitor radiation events; describes the use of radiation as a sterilization method in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food industries; examines current topics in the stability and stabilization of polymers exposed to ionizing radiation; reviews advances in the use of radiation with photosensitive metathesis polymers, chemical amplification, and dry-develop resist technology.
