Abstract
Non-steady-state radiation-induced conductivity of poly(methyl methacrylate) was studied at room and elevated temperatures. It was shown that the conductivity is due to electric polarization of geminate pairs. The evolution of geminate pairs was rationalized in terms of the Rose–Fowler–Weisberg generalized model. The conclusions by the model were compared with the results of previous studies on the kinetics of formation and decay of geminate pairs upon pulse radiolysis or flash photolysis of doped poly(methyl methacrylate).
