Abstract

Characterization of dilute solution of gamma-irradiated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in acetone has been carried out. The polymer sample in form of natural beads was administered a gamma-ray dose of 30 kGy by a cobalt-60 radiationsource. Various types of viscosities, viscosity average molecular weight, shape and size of irradiated PMMA and its two fractions were calculated. The results were compared with those for unirradiated PMMA. Degradation of PMMA as a result of irradiation has been observed.
