I know that PTFE does not withstand gamma radiation. There are a lot of sources or handbooks that mention that. However, I am hard-pressed to find the quantitative effect that gamma radiation has on PTFE properties. Like, what does it do to the modulus, or elasticity, or mol wt, etc. I am interested in approx. 25 to 30 kGy radiation effect---but a barcketing effect study (at the high and low end) would be more useful.
Thanks for your help!
Nilesh P.S. I am looking to find what gamma sterilization exactly does to PTFE, in terms of impacting its phycial/chemcial properties.
