Abstract
In general, etching of two identical ion-irradiated polymer foils in the same vessel with the same etchant for the same times does not lead to identical track shapes in both foils. In contrast, the track shapes, the etching speeds, and consequently also the etchant consumption of the two foils diverge increasingly with increasing etching times, unless this is prevented by forceful external equilibration of the system. This tendency toward divergence of a system of multiple ion tracks originates from its lack of self-synchronization during etching. A theory has been developed for this case that also shows general applicability to other diverging effects in human life.
