Experimental Study of Submicrometer Particle Penetration for Heavy-Ion Track Polyethylene Terephthalate Membranes

Abstract

The separation characteristics of nuclear track memdescribed by the known semiempirical expressions. The branes made from 10-pm-thick polyethylene terepheffect of the electrostatic charge of microparticles on thalate film were investigated with submicrometer the filtration efficiency was experimentally studied. The particles. The measurements were carried out with a differences between the experimental data obtained submicrometer aerosol indication system and an and theory and the increasing filtration efficiency for aerosol laser spectrometer in fixed air flows of 1 L/min. charged aerosols are discussed. The results obtained are compared with each other and
