Abstract
The radiation induced depression of the melting and crystallization te mperatures of PTFE irradiated at various temperatures followed by heat treatment at 380-degrees-C, and their relationship to structural chan ges, were investigated. The G(-units) values obtained in this work are different from those of samples which have not undergone heat treatme nt and seem to be more closely associated with radiation induced branc hed structures.
