Mapping the scientific research on the ionizing radiation impacts on polymers (1975–2019)

Abstract A bibliometric approach allowed us to study the global research trend on impact of ionizing irradiations polymers from 1975 2019. The investigation revealed 1,015 publications with growing interest since 1990. is split into three main categories: polymer science, nuclear science technology, and chemistry physical. studied in this are gamma, electron beam, X-ray irradiations. under gamma irradiation most commonly field 578 among publications. Electron beam second followed by irradiation. Whatever modalities, focus material degradation improvement studies.
