Description

Selection of optimum etching conditions for plastic track detectors is essential if they are to be used to best advantage. Results are presented of a study of the influence of etchant type, temperature and concentration, on the etching response of CR39. It is concluded that 6N NaOH at 700C gives the steepest response curve for CR39, within the range of temperatures (40 to 700C) and concentrations (1N to 12N) studied. Other plastics are briefly discussed. (author)
