AbstractThe formation of tyrosine isomers by γ-radiolysis of neutral aqueous phenylalanine solutions was found to be strongly dependent on oxygen concentration and temperature. Changing the dose rate did not influence the degradation process. In the presence of 0.25 x 10-3 mol dm-3 oxygen at room temperature the yields of o-tyrosine as well as of m- and p-tyrosine drop from G(o-Tyr) = 0.5 and G(m-Tyr) = G(p-Tyr) = 0.4 at a dose of 0.3 kGy to 0.18 and 0.16 at 2.5 kGy, respectively. In solutions containing 1.25 x 10-3 mol dm-3 oxygen the initial yields remain unchanged but decrease at 2.5 kGy only to G(o-Tyr) = 0.3 and G(m-Tyr) = G(p-Tyr) = 0.20. Under the latter reaction conditions also 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine was found.Samples irradiated in frozen state did not show remarkable radiolysis of phenylalanine and tyrosine formation. In the range between 5 and 20°C no essential influence of temperature on the phenylalanine radiolysis and tyrosine yields was observable. The obtained results are important for methods using the tyrosine yields as markers for the detection of irradiated food. Storage conditions and irradiation temperature play an essential role on radiation induced changes of food.

With the aim of improving the basic characteristics of Track Etched Membranes (TEMs), functionalization by graft copolymerization has been attempted in the present work. Thin films (25 μm) of poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) (Tedlar) were irradiated by swift heavy ions (110 MeV Si 8+ ). The irradiated films were chemically etched to form latent tracks. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to ascertain the formation of latent tracks. Irradiation effects were studied using UV-visible spectroscopic techniques. The tracks were functionalized by gamma radiation induced grafting with 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP). In order to anticipate the best grafting conditions, percentage of grafting was studied as a function of various reaction conditions such as (i) total dose, (ii) monomer concentration and (iii) amount of water. Maximum percentage of grafting (13.66 %) was obtained at a total dose of 57.024 kGy using 2 ml of 4-VP in 10 ml of water. The grafted films were characterized by FTIR technique

After the radiation-induced addition of 2-propanol to the diesters of cis-2-butenedioic (maleic) acid at 20 °C the reaction mixture contains not only the expected lactone-type products, i.e., the derivatives of 2,2-dimethyl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid (II) but also the corresponding hydroxy derivatives, i.e., the derivatives of 3-carboxy-4-methyl-4-hydroxypentanoic acid (IV). These hydroxy derivatives are formed as the primary products, however, they are not stable in the solution even in the form of their diesters. Their lactonization accompanied by the splitting off of alcohols proceeds rather slowly. The lactonization rate constant of the di-isopropyl ester of the acid IV is 1.61 . 10-5 s-1, of the di-n-octyl ester of IV it is 7.41 . 10-6 s-1 at 25 °C. At a higher temperature, e.g., during the esterification, the hydroxy derivatives of IV are partly lactonized, partly they form the respective unsaturated diesters by splitting off a molecule of water. A series of new esters of the acid II and of the triesters of its 4-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl) derivative (telomer 1 : 2) are described and the wavenumbers of the characteristic lactone bands in the region 1 777 - 1 786 cm-1 in the IR spectra of both types of lactone-esters are given.

Radiation-induced homogeneous precipitation in Ni-Be alloys was recently observed by high voltage electron microscopy. A coupling of interstitial flux with solute Be atoms is responsible for the precipitation. The present investigation further shows that precipitation is also induced at thin foil surfaces by electron irradiation under a high vacuum.
