Abstract
The permeability of oxygen in water through polycarbonate is observed for thin Makrofol KG and Polyethylenterephthalat (PETP) foils of diffe rent thickness. For each thickness the oxygen permeability through the polymer foils has been measured for unirradiated and with a high flue nce irradiated foils. It was found that the permeability of oxygen thr ough irradiated Makrofol KG foils is up to a factor of two higher than unirradiated foils. The foils were irradiated with (79)AU ions at the energy of 11.65 MeV/u at GSI Darmstadt, Germany.
