The production of molecular hydrogen in the radiolysis of high-density polyethylene, isotactic polypropylene (PP), poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA), and polystyrene (PS) by ␥ rays and 5-20-MeV helium ions was investigated. Molecular hydrogen is the dominant gaseous product from these polymers, and t
