The Spall Strength of the Polytetrafluoroethylene Irradiated above the Melting Point

The features of the deformation and fracture of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) before and after exposure to gamma radiation above the melting point of the crystalline phase are investigated using shock wave loading methods at various impact velocities from 100 to 600 m/s, which c...
