Polystyrene (PS) is one of the commercial polymers affected by gamma-radiation. Gamma-radiation has been used to induce polymerization of styrene. After polymerization, radiation can induce crosslinking and/or chain scission in polystyrene. Interestingly, the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (Single-Walled Nanotubes, SW-CNTs) into commercial polymers can change their own properties of both two materials. In addition, many of the reported papers describe theoretical and experimental studies of various diameter-dependent properties of CNTs. In this study, we demonstrate polystyrene/SWCNTs composite with various diameters SW-CNTs to check the property changes including radiation protective characteristics under various dose of gamma irradiation conditions. |
