Abstract

The main effects of the interaction of accelerated ions with polymeric targets are critically reviewed. The possibility of a relatively reduced heating of polymer during ion beam bombardment is analyzed. Experimental data pointing towards various radiation-induced modifications in polycarbonate (free radicals production, modifications of the energy gap) are discussed.
