| Popis: | Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been used in conjunction with differential scanning calorimetric measurements to investigate the nature of molecular degradation and its effect on the phase transition temperatures in irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Both the 19 and 30/sup 0/C transitions are observed to exhibit similar shifts to low temperatures upon irradiation. Infrared absorbance subtraction data from irradiated PTFE indicate a continual decrease in sample crystallinity accompanied by an increase in the number of free and bonded - COOH groups with increasing dose consistent with molecular degradation by chain scission. By comparing infrared band intensities on a number of irradiated PTFE samples with those from short chain perfluoro n-alkanes, it was determined that the overall reduction in chain length caused by irradiation was primarily responsible for the observed reduction in both phase transition temperatures. |
