Features of local graft polymerization of methacrylic acid in the areas oflatent tracks in perfluorinated polymer films

The possibility was examined for creating local defective etchable areas in perfluorinated polymeric materials by graft polymerization of methacrylic acid in the areas of latent tracks produced by accelerated heavy ions. The reaction kinetic was studied. With consideration for the nature of the mono mer being grafted and the irradiated matrix, methods were developed and use d, ensuring significantly increased yield of the grafted polymer and procee ding of graft polymerization in the whole track volume to form a porous str ucture, i.e., to obtain track membranes.
