Popis: This work shows the possibility in principle of forming hydrocarbon structures in polyvinyl chloride films free of admixtures and polyvinyl chloride films modified with 5-mass % ferrocene via a radiation chemical transformation in the atmosphere with the use of an electron accelerator with a plasma cathode operating in the pulsed-periodic mode maximal electron energy no higher than 160 keV, pulse length of 40 μs, and current density of 5 mA/cm2. According to the results of semiquantitative X-ray microanalysis, an irradiated polyvinyl chloride film free of admixtures contains 92 of carbon, 6 of oxygen, and 2 mass % of chlorine; the irradiated polyvinyl chloride is an amorphous carbon material. A possible mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed.
