Abstract
This work shows investigation of the transmission dynamics of polymer samples made of PLA plastic (polylactide) by fused deposition modelling for electron beam. Besides, results of tests for mechanical destruction (compression) of plastic samples with radiation exposure and without are shown. Article demonstrates that properties of plastic samples are stable up to 1.5 kGy, that proves the suitability of this material for sample production intended for depth dose distributions of electron beams.Keywords
