Abstract
The molecular–topological structure of a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer with ethylene after γ-irradiation and thermal annealing has been studied. The pseudo-network structure of the copolymer contains, in addition to the amorphous block, crystalline segments of macromolecules in the role of branching sites. Topologically, the diblock structure of the copolymer after thermal annealing at 538 K is transformed into a three-block structure with the appearance of a high-temperature amorphous block. Irradiation of the copolymer with γ-rays to a dose of 150 kGy does not lead to appreciable changes in its molecular–topological structure.
