Trapped radical behavior of electron beam irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder at various temperatures
Abstract Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fine powder with 93% crystallinity was irradiated by an electron beam (EB) at various temperatures under a nitrogen atmosphere. Trapped free radicals in PTFE were studied using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The observed spectra of the samples exp...
