radiolyysi
Radiolyysi is a process where chemical bonds in molecules are broken by ionizing radiation. When radiation, such as gamma rays or X-rays, interacts with matter, it can deposit energy, leading to the excitation and ionization of atoms and molecules. This energy deposition can initiate a cascade of chemical reactions, often resulting in the formation of highly reactive species like free radicals. These radicals can then interact with surrounding molecules, causing further chemical transformations, including fragmentation, polymerization, or cross-linking of polymer chains.
The extent and nature of radiolytic effects depend on several factors, including the type and energy of
