Abstract

The radiation-induced changes taking place in poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) exposed to $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ irradiation were investigated in correlation with the applied doses. Samples were irradiated in air at room temperature by $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ to doses in the range of 200 to 1000 kGy. Various properties of the irradiated PVDF were studied using nm, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and gel fraction. $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ irradiation was found to induce changes in chemical, thermal, structural properties of PVDF and such changes vary depending on the radiation dose.
