Popis:	The etching of latent tracks and pore formation in track membranes are studied. It is shown that the incorporation of K+ and Ba2+ ions into alkaline solutions accelerates the etching of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and latent tracks in it. The etching is accelerated due to a decrease in the negative surface charge of PET surface and the pores in track membranes. Isoelectric points are determined for PET and polyimide track membranes and it is established that they depend on pore diameter. As the pore diameter is enlarged from 30 to 70 nm, the magnitude of the negative surface charge rises seemingly due to the increase in the concentration of carboxyl groups on the pore surface. It is assumed that this effect is due to either a high mobility of carboxyl groups in a gel, which is formed on pore walls as a result of etching latent tracks, or a displacement of the slipping plane caused by a decrease in the thickness of the gel layer.
