Abstract
Barium and lead polymethacrylates, which can be used as radiation shie lds, were subjected to gamma irradiation at doses ranging from 200 to 600 kGy in an argon atmosphere. The effects of radiation have been ass essed by utilizing various thermoanalytical techniques. The changes no ted in the thermal degradation patterns have been discussed.
