Abstract
In the last decade, many efforts have been made in modifying the surface and bulk properties of polymers by the use of various radiations such as UV and IR radiations, plasmas, flame, corona, electron beams and ion beams etc. The present work deals with the changes induced to CR-39 and PET polymers by IR irradiation. The modifications induced in the polymers due to IR irradiation have been analyzed with the help of XRD and UV-visible spectra of the pristine and IR irradiated polymers and a brief mechanism has been suggested, where ever possible. It has been found that CR-39 is more sensitive towards the radiations as compared to PET.
