Light scattering by porous oriented polypropylene films

Resumo

Oriented porous polypropylene films with lamellar crystal structure are studied by the laser radiation scattering method. The dependence of the scattering pattern on the degree of film orientation is determined. It is shown that the sizes of the central maximum of the scattering pattern depend linearly on the degree of film extension. The results obtained can be used in developing methods of optical nondestructive testing of polymeric materials.
