local.description.resumoThe industrial application of radiation processing involves high doses of gamma or electron radiation to cause structural changes in materials, such as rubber vulcanization and polymer degradation, among others. A reliable dosimetric system is necessary to guarantee the desired effects and also to avoid damages. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) [PVDF] homopolymer has been recently proposed for application in high gamma dose dosimetry. In this work, nanocomposites made of PVDF filled with zirconium oxide [ZrO2] nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes [MWCNT] were studied for applications in high dose dosimetry, for doses ranging from 100.0 kG to 2.72 MGy. Pristine PVDF and PVDF/MWCNT-ZrO2 samples were exposed to a Co-60 source. FTIR spectra were collected 2 h, 30 and 60 days after exposure. The intensity of the radio-induced absorption bands centered at 1715 cm−1and 1730 cm−1 were found to have an unambiguous relationship with the absorbed dose.The pristine PVDF samples show linear behavior in the dose range between 100 and 1000 kGy. However, the PVDF/MWCNT-ZrO2 samples show linearity in a larger range, i.e. between 500 and 2750 kGy interval. The melting latent heat, measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and SEM micrographs revealed that PVDF/MWCNT-ZrO2 samples show increased resistance to the radio-induced damages, when compared to pure PVDF samples irradiated in the same conditions. The results indicate that the MWCNT-ZrO2 adds resistance to PVDF and improves its dosimetric properties.
