摘要
The polycarbonate membranes of 40-50 mu m thicknesses were prepared by the solution cast method. These films were irradiated by a 60 MeV, C5+ ion beam with the fluence of 5 x 10(6), 4 x 10(8) and 1 X 10(12) ions cm(-2). The ion beam effects were studied by the positron annihilation lifetime technique. The ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime shows an increase with the ion dose 5 x 106, 4 x 10(8) ions cm(-2). For the films irradiated to the fluence of 1 X 10(12) ions cm(-2), the o-Ps lifetime falls to the lower value. The results are interpreted in terms of change in the free volume. The gas permeability measurements also indicate an increase in the free volume in the samples irradiated up to the fluence of the 4 x 10(8) ions cm(-2). (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
