The action of accelerated 1–4-MeV protons on polychlorotrifluoroethylene in vacuum was accompanied by a preferential rupture of the main polymer chain with the release of more than 30 gaseous products, most of which were tetrafluoroethylene and chlorine- and fluorine-containing compounds. As a resul...
