The Physics and Chemistry of the Reactions of Positrons and Positronium in Polymers

The problems of the annihilation of positrons in polymers are discussed and the reactions of positrons and positronium, the effect of external electric and magnetic fields, and the influence of various kinds of radiation, temperature, pressure, phase transitions, etc. are examined. The practical value of the positron method for the investigation of polymers is demonstrated.
The bibliography includes 180 references.
