Thermally stimulated conductivity (TSC) in TPX polymer prepared for radiation dosimetry

Radiation-induced thermally stimulated conductivity curves were recorded for TPX polymer samples prepared by hot compression or injection moulding at a variety of fabrication temperatures and cooling rates. Some of the samples were also prepared with either organic or inorganic additives. The results, which include those from the measurements of background conductivity for various temperatures, indicate that the morphology plays a more dominant role in the TSC response of a sample compared with the effect of an additive.
