Abstract
|
Fluorine-19 spin-lattice relaxation of electron-beam-irradiated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) has been investigated in the temperature range from 250 to 315 K. As shown before. in the initial step, radicals are produced by the electron-beam irradiation and chain scission takes place. The concentrations of radicals and chain end groups after irradiation of PTFE strongly depend on the irradiation conditions. Radicals like other paramagnetic species decrease the Spin-lattice relaxation times. In addition, decreased polymer chain lengths shift the T-1 minimum to lower temperatures. Tetrafluorosuccinic acid in solution was used as a model system and paramagnetic copper sulphate CuSO4 added to quantify the effect on the relaxation times. The shift of the minima in T-1 versus temperature in PTFE are compared with the chain length determined from high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and with the concentration of paramagnetic species.
