Graft polymerization induced by ionizing radiation is a powerful tool in materials science to modifying the physical properties of polymers. Chitosan is a biocompatible, biodegradable, antibacterial, and highly hydrophilic polysaccharide. In this work, we report the obtaining of amphiphilic polymers through graft polymerization of acrylic monomers (methyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, and hexyl acrylate) onto chitosan. The polymerization reaction was carried out by simultaneous irradiation of monomers and chitosan using a gamma radiation source of 60Co. The formation of Langmuir films of amphiphilic polymers was studied at the air-water interface through surface pressure versus main molecular area isotherms (Π-A) and hysteresis cycles of compression and decompression. Finally, it was analyzed the transferring of Langmuir films towards solid substrates to obtaining Langmuir-Blodgett films with potential application as an antibacterial coating. The microstructure of the Langmuir-Blodgett films was characterized by AFM microscopy observing a regular topography with roughness ranging between 0.53 and 0.6 μm.

When gas-filled Pyrex cells were heated above about 50°, the saturation currents obtained in a gamma radiation field apparently decreased. At temperatures above 100° good saturation currents were not obtained. At temperatures below 50° the conductance of Pyrex was negligible, and "true" saturation currents were measured. At temperatures greater than 50° the Pyrex conducted appreciably, so the total current flowing in the circuit was appreciably greater than the gas phase saturation current (absorbed dose rate 1010–1013 eV/ml s). If the outer surface of the cell was grounded, for example by ionized air, part of the current by-passed the measuring ammeter, thereby decreasing the "apparent" saturation current. The magnitude of the temperature effect was greatly decreased by wrapping the cell with teflon tape, thereby insulating it from the ionized air.The effect of temperature on apparent saturation currents measured in quartz cells was much smaller than that in Pyrex cells, because the conductance of quartz was much less than that of Pyrex at temperatures above 50°.When a metal cell that contains a Pyrex insulator between the electrodes is used, the temperature of the Pyrex should be kept below about 50°.
