Abstract:

The scientific and technical principles of the radiation modification of electrical insulating polymeric materials used in electrotechnical mainly in cable, radio engineering, and the electronic industry are presented. An analysis is made of the physicochemical bases for the use of ionizing radiations for the modification of properties of polymers, the essence of radiochemical processes flowing in them during irradiation, and the peculiarities of action of radiation of various forms. Fundamental information on the radiation chemistry of polymeric systems is given and a detailed examination is made of the characteristics of radiation-modified electrical insulating polymeric materials under specific operating conditions.
