Ga. Fedorova et al., EFFECT OF STRUCTURE AND ADSORBED WATER ON THE RADIOLYSIS OF POLYSACCHARIDES .2. ROLE OF WATER IN THE FORMATION OF GASEOUS PRODUCTS, High energy chemistry, 26(6), 1992, pp. 391-395
The effects of structure and adsorbed water on the formation of gaseou
s products of the radiolysis of polysaccharides were studied. It was f
ound that the mechanism of product formation was uniform, and the frac
tional yields are determined by the amount of adsorbed water, the way
in which it is distributed in the volume of the sample, and the ratio
of free to bound water.
