Abstract : Radiation’s impacts on polymer materials are becoming increasingly popular. Several high-tech sectors demand specialty polymers that react differently when exposed to radiation. High-energy radiation processing is utilized to change and improve the polymeric properties effectively. This is a good way to change the physical, chemical, thermal, surface, and structural properties of different thermoplastic polymeric composites. For example, materials for resist applications in the electronics sector must undergo radiation-induced scission or crosslinking, whereas materials for aerospace and medical applications must be highly radiation stable. The effects of radiation on polymer materials must be fully understood in order to design and develop acceptable chemistry for these applications. Today's industries need technical improvements that can only be made if we fully understand the different chemical reactions that happen in polymers.
