Abstract
Three kinds of polymeric track detectors have been examined by ESR spectroscopy following heavy ion or energetic electron bombardment: (1) Typical nuclear track detectors: makrofol, kapton, terphane; (2) Polymers whose radiolysis under γ-rays or electron beams is well established: PMMA, PE, PP; (3) Polymers in which etchable tracks have not so far been observed e.g. teflon. The influence on the various ESR spectra of the radiation dose, of annealing or chemical etching treatments leads us to suggest that existence of heavy ion latent tracks might be correlated with the formation of “carbon-like” radicals such as produced in polymer pyrolysis.Keywords
