Abstract
This article looks at the effect of orientation stretching of irradiated polyethylene terephthalate films on the shape of the pores formed during chemical pore etching. Shows that orientation stretching enables latent tracks in the polymer to be stretched, which gives rise to track membranes with elliptical pores. Examines the effect of deformation of irradiated polymer on the structure and physical/mechanical characteristics of the track membranes formed. It is assumed that the change in the polymer structure resulting from heavy-ion irradiation may be linked to local heating at the locations where the charged particles pass.
