摘要
The effect of gamma-irradiation with doses from 10 to 500 kGy on the electrical conductivity (g) of dry bone was studied. Temperature measurement of electrical conductivity were made from 393 to 533 K. The dependence obtained indicates the increase in g with temperature. An increase in irradiation dose resulted in a decreased g value for each dose up to temperature 462 K. Temperature 462 K was interpreted as the temperature of collagen melting point in dry bone. Above 462 K, g values were dose independent. A dose of 500 kGy shifted the melting point to lower temperature. In addition, the activation energy for the charge conduction process was calculated. Obtained values for electrical conductivity and activation energy were typical for dielectrics and indicated degradation of the organic component of bone. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
