Fracto-Emission from Polymers

Abstract

Progress in the investigation of fracto-emission (FE) from polymers is reported. Measurements characterizing the FE, experiments concerning FE mechanisms, and studies of factors influencing FE are discussed. This work includes: an examination of FE accompanying adhesive failure, the crack velocity dependence of electron emission from the fracture of elastomers, experiments to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of the positive ion emission, time correlation measurements of the electron and positive ion emission, and the detection of charge particle emission from the fracture of the molecular crystals PETN and HMX.
