Intense Radiation

Abstract A survey has been made of the effects of intense gamma radiation on the physical properties of elastomers and plastics. Such information is required to determine the types of elastomers which are most resistant to radiation, to estimate the service life of elastomers exposed to radiation, and to show favorable trends in compounding for radiation resistance. Intense radiation may affect the physical properties of elastomers benficially or adversely, depending on the type of elastomer and the exposure dose, although hardening and embrittlement are most commonly observed. The possibility is apparent of developing elastomer compounds with improved radiation resistance, especially by the use of chemical agents which affect free-radical reactions. The nature of the elastomer, however, will probably severely limit what can be accomplished by compounding.

The hypothesis that pathologic free-radical reactions are initiated and catalyzed in the major central nervous system (CNS) disorders has been further supported by the current acute spinal cord injury work that has demonstrated the appearance of specific, cholesterol free-radical oxidation products. The significance of these products is suggested by the fact that: (i) they increase with time after injury; (ii) their production is curtailed with a steroidal antioxidant; (iii) high antioxidant doses of the steroidal antioxidant which curtail the development of free-radical product prevent tissue degeneration and permit functional restoration. The role of pathologic free-radical reactions is also inferred from the loss of ascorbic acid, a principal CNS antioxidant, and of extractable cholesterol. These losses are also prevented by the steroidal antioxidant. This model system is among others in the CNS which offer distinctive opportunities to study, in vivo, the onset and progression of membrane damaging free-radical reactions within well-defined parameters of time, extent of tissue injury, correlation with changes in membrane enzymes, and correlation with readily measurable in vivo functions.
