Abstract

A three-terminal capacitance technique has been used in the temperature range 80 to 340 K to measure the thermal expansion coefficient of γ-irradiated polystyrene. Below 290 K the expansion coefficient decreased with radiation dose due to the predominant effect of radiationinduced crosslinking. Above 290 K, however, the coefficient increased with radiation dose, due to the predominant effect of degradation which also occurred on irradiation of polystyrene in air.
