Abstract
The electrical conductivity of polycaproamide fibres decreases by more than 100 times in the γ-radiation dose range of 0≤D≤1.6 MGy. The change in the conductivity of irradiated PCA fibres is unambiguously correlated with a change in their structure, strength, and thermomechanical properties. Rupture of chemical bonds in the polymer chain is the basic process in γ-irradiation of PCA fibres in air.
