Description

The chemical etching techniques of polypropylene (PP) nuclear track membrane were studied. The effects of potassium dichromate concentration, sulfuric acid concentration, etching temperature and etching time on the bulk etching rate of PP nuclear track membrane were discussed. A mathematical relation has been established. Under certain etching conditions, the expected PP nuclear track membranes were made by etching the irradiated PP membrane, affirming the mathematical relation
