Notes:
In this work, the effects of radiation on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) samples with different crystallinity were studied. Using Suwa's equation for calculating the number-average molecular weight of PTFE, the radiation-induced reduction in molecular weight was followed and the G values of scission of PTFE were also obtained on the basis of the changes in molecular weight. The G (scission) for as-polymerized PTFE was 2.15 ± 0.01, whereas for sintered sample, which has a relative low crystallinity, G (scission) = 6.0 ± 0.14. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
