ZnS Nanocrystals as an Additive for Gamma-Irradiated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) by Roberta Cristina da Silva (4829853)

“…It was demonstrated that the addition of ZnS nanocrystals imparted molecular protection to the polymer matrix while improving flexibility, by decreasing the Young Modulus of PVC films. These results suggest the use of sonochemically synthesized ZnS nanocrystals as a new additive for radiation-grade PVC materials.…”
