A pulse radiolysis study of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, film has been carried out with the main aims of investigating charge trapping. In PET, pulse radiolysis gives electron-positive hole pairs. Both charges can be stabilized by the reaction with polymeric matrix. In the first step, the PET

✦ Synopsis
The spectra of transients produced in pulse-irradiated pure poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, at room and -130 K temperatures were measured. The intermediates were identified as PMMA radicals and radical anions. In the pulse-irradiated PMMA-pyrene (Py) system the solute excited states and radical ions were produced. Scavenging of negative charges by Py was directly observed at 130 K in a ps time scale. Py fluorescence was found to be produced mainly as a result of Cerenkov photoexcitation. At room temperature, some contribution of ionic mechanism to Py fluorescence formation was found. ~1997.JohnWiley & Sons, Inc.
