Effect of x-ray irradiation on the physical properties of polyvinyl chloride

This research investigates the effect of X-ray irradiation doses on the physico-chemical properties of PVC. PVC samples before and after irradiation are transferred in liquid form by using microwave digestion Mars 6 and then X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) to determine the structural morphological characteristics of PVC samples. XRD results show that the change of PVC polymer structure depends significantly on a radiation dose.
