 polymer was investigated. Samples of DAM-ADC were irradiated with gamma doses in the range of 100-500 kGy. The optical characterization of samples have been studied through the measurements of UV-visible absorption spectra. The refractive index and the absorption index were computed using the obtained data of transmittance and reflectance. The complex dielectric constant, dissipation factor, volume energy loss, surface energy loss functions, and optical conductivity were calculated and interpreted. The optical absorption data showed that dispersion energy, high frequency dielectric constant, and optical conductivity increase with increasing gamma while the optical energy band gap decreases. The results reflects that DAM-ADC polymer is a good candidate in optoelectronic devices based on its conductivity and dispersion parameters. In addition, it can be used as gamma radiation dosimetry in some specific range of doses.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/916.jpg)

Effect of gamma irradiation on the optical and electrical properties of Diallyl maleate- allyl diglycol carbonate (DAM-ADC) polymer was investigated. Samples of DAM-ADC were irradiated with gamma doses in the range of 100-500 kGy. The optical characterization of samples have been studied through the measurements of UV-visible absorption spectra. The refractive index and the absorption index were computed using the obtained data of transmittance and reflectance.
