Gamma irradiation induced chemical and structural modifications in PM-355 polymeric nuclear track detector film

Effects of Li3+ and Ni9+ Ion Beams on Polyether Sulfone Polymer

“…Moreover, this behavior is usually associated with the decrease in crystallinity of the polymer. 17,33 The degree of crystallinity for the polymers is calculated by the following formula:…”

Influence of SHI upon nanohole free volume and micro scale level surface modifications of polyethyleneterephthalate polymer films

“…The polymeric properties can be modified by radiation treatment such as the gamma exposure, electron, proton, ion irradiation and implantation [1][2][3][4]. The energetic ions deposit extremely high localized density of energy to the material in contrast to electrons and protons.…”

Investigation of in-depth and surface properties of polyethyleneterephthalate thin films after SHI and gamma radiation treatment by means of PALS and AFM studies

“…The structural, optical and surface morphological changes are the most probabilistic effects due to chain scission, cross linking and gaseous emissions [14][15][16][17][18]. Literature includes reports by various authors who have studied the structural, chemical and thermal properties of PET using low and high energetic ions [19][20][21][22].…”
