Abstract
The radiation chemistry of several elastomers has been reviewed, inclu ding that of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, halogenated rubbers, ethylene-alkene copolymers and a range of polyurethanes, The properties investigated include the yields of volatile products and r adicals and the new chemical structures formed on radiolysis. The role s of double bonds and hetero-atoms, such as chlorine, in the radiation chemistry of the elastomers has also been discussed.
