摘要
High electronic excitation (similar to 10 keV/nm) induced effects on the radiochemistry and melting behaviour of semicrystalline polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have been studied by FTIR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques, After irradiation with a 180 MeV Ag14+ ion beam, DSC measurements of PET films exhibited significant change in their melting behaviour. The gradual increase in the melting enthalpy of irradiated PET with the ion fluence is observed for the first time, which reaches a maximum when track overlapping sets in, and decreases exponentially thereafter. FTIR measurements of irradiated PET at different ion fluences have also shown partly different trend of amorphisation than the earlier observations. X-ray diffraction results of irradiated PET reveal both a shift and a reduction of the main peak, along with the appearance of a new small peak. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
