| Abstract: | The optical study
carried out on insulating polymers namely polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and
polyvinylchloride (PVC) has been described. The polymers are exposed to
different radiation doses by exposing them to swift heavy ions of carbon (90
MeV), silicon (120 MeV) and nickel (100 MeV) which influence on their optical
properties. The studies show that amongst the investigated polymers, PVC and
PET have potential for application as dosimeter beyond a threshold dose which
is strongly dependent on the nature of the material and the radiation type. The
optical micrographs show a distinct change in colour of the sample with
increase in radiation dose. |
