Abstract:

We studied the photoluminescence of MEH-PPV polymer films and a MEH-PPV/DND nanocomposite after exposure to gamma irradiation from a radioisotope source of cesium-137 with doses of 0.5–12.2 kGy for H₂O and their relaxation processes after exposure to the maximum dose. Exposure to gamma irradiation leads to the formation of new structural units in MEH-PPV/DND, which are similar in structure to the structural units of the conductive PPV polymer. A microscopic model is proposed that describes the evolution of MEH-PPV/DND photoluminescence in the context of the formation of bonds between aliphatic radicals of polymers and the surface of detonation diamond.
