Abstract
The advantages of using polystyrene as an x‐ray absorber are pointed out. The measured linear absorption coefficient for both commercial rod and high‐purity molded sheet was found to be 4.165±0.008 cm−1 for CuKα radiation. The mass absorption coefficient of carbon (μl/ρ) is 4.301±0.009 cm2/g. This value is compared to other published results.Keywords
