The electrical properties of virgin and gamma-ray irradiated polyvinyl
idene chloride (PVDC) films were investigated. The results showed that
PVDC electrical conductivity is a function of applied voltage frequen
cy for different gamma-irradiation doses. The results were analyzed by
the Cole-Cole method. It is found that the oscillating strength incre
ases with irradiation dose; furthermore, the electrical conductivity i
ncreases by a manifold of 0.27 with increasing irradiation dose.
