Pulse radiolysis of polyethylene film produces an optical absorption band attributed to the trapped electron and, with aromatic compounds as scavengers, results in the formation of ions and excited states from these additives; the technique is applicable to films of other translucent materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
