        abstract = {In the present investigation, Effect of gamma radiation on Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and Polyoxymethelene (POM) has been studied for various doses varied from 0Mrad to 50Mrad. PVC and POM is an engineering plastic product with excellent electrical properties. Characterization of the polymer using XRD and AC electrical conductivity was done both before irradiation and after irradiation in each step. Present investigation clearly indicates that though the crystallinity increases in the material, it undergoes degradation and shows brittleness due to irradiation and A.C. Electrical conductivity study of gamma irradiated PVC and POM were carried out in frequency range from 10 kHz to 2MHz at room temperature.},
