Abstract A comparative study has been carried out on the electrical conductivity of PS, PMMA, and PVC before and after irradiation with γ-rays up to a dose of 100 MR, The obtained results are explained on the basis of electron trapping theory by making use of a formula suitable for calculating the characteristic parameter Δ. The conclusion that the average value of Δ is near to the theoretical value Δ=0.5 indicates that these polymers possess long decay times and have a large number of exponentially distributed traps.
