Abstract
The influence of the organic solvent N,N,-dimethylformamide (DMF) on i on tracks in polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) was investigated by small -angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and by differential scanning calorimetr y (DSC). The experiments were performed on non-irradiated, irradiated and DMF-treated samples. After ion irradiation the SAXS pattern change d considerably. From the comparison of the SAXS pattern of the irradia ted samples before and after DMF sensitization, it can be concluded th at DMF induces a process restoring the lamellar structure. With DSC we determined the melting enthalpy. Compared with non-irradiated PET the melting enthalpy of irradiated samples decrease. By DMF-sensitization this decrease of melting enthalpy is enhanced.
