Description
Discusses structural and physiochemical effects of irradiation and presents techniques to model and monitor radiation events. Describes the use of radiation as a sterilization method in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Examines current topics in the stability and stabilization of polymers exposed to ionizing radiation. Reviews advances in the use of radiation with photosensitive metathesis polymers, chemical amplification, and dry-develop resist
