Abstract The present study reveals a deep association between the effects of gamma rays in irradiated organic substances and the age of the material after exposure. The late effects of radiation-induced modifications in polymeric material were investigated by means of the infrared signature and correlation with ultraviolet absorption. Detectors made of poly(allyl diglycol carbonate) were irradiated with doses between 500 Gy and 5 MGy and compared by means of similar samples aged 8 and 12 years. Infrared investigation showed the differences between infrared spectra recorded directly after irradiation and those recorded for the aged samples. The aging effect was found to be minor at low doses. For samples irradiated at high doses, the material digested itself through processes that have radiation breeding-fermentation behavior. Ultraviolet absorption revealed the presence of a hyperchromic effect and a bathochromic shift in connection with the age of these samples. This breeding behavior of radiation-induced effects in organic materials should be taken into account in dosimetry.

有机材料中辐射诱导效应的繁殖行为及其作为辐射剂量计的可能用途

摘要 本研究揭示了受辐照有机物质中伽马射线的影响与材料暴露后的年龄之间存在深刻关联。通过红外特征和与紫外吸收的相关性研究了辐射诱导改性在聚合物材料中的后期效应。由聚（烯丙基二甘醇碳酸酯）制成的探测器受到 500 Gy 和 5 MGy 之间的剂量照射，并通过 8 岁和 12 岁的类似样品进行比较。红外研究表明，辐照后直接记录的红外光谱与老化样品记录的红外光谱之间存在差异。发现在低剂量下老化效应很小。对于以高剂量照射的样品，材料通过具有辐射繁殖-发酵行为的过程自行消化。紫外线吸收表明存在与这些样品的年龄有关的增色效应和红移。在剂量测定中应考虑到有机材料中辐射诱导效应的这种繁殖行为。
