“…At present, using high-power electron beams, the features of destruction of metals [1,2], polymers [3,4], and composite materials [5] have been studied in sufficient detail. However, the behavior of polymer gels, using the example of igdantin, showed an interesting feature -under a powerful electron beam impact with an energy of more than 1 MeV, the decisive role in their destruction is played not by shock-wave, but by radiation-thermal processes [6]. In this regard, the study of such materials is of particular interest from the point of view of searching for threshold values of the input energy for triggering radiation-thermal processes.…”
