Since its infancy in the early 1960s, the use of radiation
chemistry in commercial and industrial processes has been greeted
with equal parts enthusiasm and controversy. Thirty years later,
while much has changed in the technology of radiation chemistry,
both the enthusiasm and the controversy have remained. Applied
Radiation Chemistry takes a long hard look at the entire field of
radiation processing: its history, the current state of technology,
level of use, controversial applications, and promising
developments. The only book of its kind, Applied Radiation
Chemistry places as much emphasis on the chemical changes and
principles that produce the observable results as it places on the
techniques in question. This enables the reader to understand
applications in chemical terms, rather than as a series of recipes.
Full chapters are devoted to the processing of polymers and the
sterilization of medical disposables, two applications currently in
use worldwide. There is also an extensive discussion of the
controversial subject of radiation treatment of food, including
detailed tables of foods approved for irradiation, and a section on
identification of irradiated foods. Applied Radiation Chemistry is
the ultimate handbook for chemists, food scientists, polymer
scientists, environmental scientists, chemical engineers, and
others engaged in research on radiation-processing applications.
This fully referenced text is also an ideal textbook for
graduate-level courses in radiation applications because it gives
basic information on the processes, covers radiation dosimetry, and
introduces students to a wide range of actual and potential
applications.
