Abstract
The diffuse reflectance spectra were recorded in vacuum before and after irradiating polymethylphenylsiloxane varnish with accelerated electrons (in situ). The samples under analysis included non-modified varnish and the one modified with SiO2 nanoparticles (2 and 10 wt%) applied onto aluminum substrates. It was established that six types of elementary absorption bands appear in the absorption spectra of the irradiated varnish. The radicals formed during irradiation were characterized in accordance with their energy state. The Mie light scattering theory was found to be applicable for complex polymer materials, namely, the inverse linear dependence of the energy of the absorption bands on the mass of radicals. This theory was experimentally confirmed for various inorganic crystals and simple polymers (e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene).
