THz and mid IR spectroscopy of high-molecular PE (HMW) and ultra high-molecular PE (UHMW) reveals modifications of the molecular structure. Characteristic absorption bands are changed if the two materials are exposed by γ-Co60 radiation up to 600 kGy and subsequently stored at an annealing temperature of 398 K until for 729 days. UHMW-PE and HMW-PE behave differently during the ageing process because of their molecular weight and inherent structure distinctions. The spectroscopic data offer characteristic absorption bands, which have been used to describe the complete ageing process in more detail. For instance, the integral absorption in the B1u THz-region can be used to describe quantitatively the reduction of crystallinity. The formation of trans vinylene unsaturation and the decay of vinyl during ageing can be observed in detail in the mid IR range.
Casks for storage and transportation of used fuel rods of radioactive material are equipped with polyethylene (PE) for improved neutron flux shielding. The embedded PE structures are additionally exposed to gamma radiation and heat flow due to the specific high activity of the fission products. 60Co γ-radiation and heat load experiments at 125°C has been performed to evaluate PE degradation during the ageing process. FAR-FTIR-experiments were subsequently performed at differently aged PE test samples to characterize the oxidation process and morphological changes in the samples during the ageing at 125°C.
Up to now THz-TDS-systems aren’t considered to be nondestructive testing facilities for large scale industrial applications, despite it was proven that they provide a comprehensive set of quality parameters. A practical approach to bring THz-TDS in addition to already existing testing systems into the industrial mainstream is systematic development of future test procedures and test facilities for dielectrics. For this purpose polyeth-ylene test specimen with introduced artefacts were designed, to evaluate the detection sensitivity of Time of Flight measurements based on dielectrics. SAFT reconstructed tomograms are presented which visualize the sizes and location of artificially introduced flaws.
THz and mid IR spectroscopy of high-molecular PE (HMW) and ultra high-molecular PE (UHMW) are appropriated to characterize theire molecular structure.

THz-TDS Systeme können zeitaufgelöst die Amplitude der elektrischen Feldstärke E(t) detektieren. Der Vorteil des verwendeten Messprinzips besteht in dem gleichzeitigen Nachweis von Amplitude und Phase des zwischen der Antenne und dem Detektor sich ausbreitenden elektrischen Feldes eines Impulses. Befindet sich im Strahlengang dielektrisches Material, dann ändern sich die Laufzeit (Time of Flight) und Amplitude des Impulses im Vergleich zum freien Strahlengang.
Planare Fehlstellen, wie Risse oder delaminierte Schichten in Kompositen sowie mehrschichtig aufgebaute Dielektrika können als optische Mehrschichtsysteme aufgefasst werden, mit denen sich die beobachteten Transmissions- und Reflektionseigenschaften im THz-Bereich erklären lassen.
Bei Entwicklung eines optischen Schichtenmodells für das jeweilig ausgewählte Schichtensystem lassen sich zeitliche Impulsverläufe in Abhängigkeit von der Schichtenfolge- und deren –dicke berechnen.
Durch den Fit der experimentell gewonnener Daten mit den aus dem Schichtenmodell berechneten Impulssequenzen lassen sich unter Verwendung der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate Schichtdicken oder die Brechungsindizes der einzelnen Schichten im jeweiligen Testobjekt bestimmen. Anhand eines repräsentativen Beispiels wird die Entwicklung des Schichtenmodells erklärt und die erreichten Genauigkeiten zur Bestimmung der Schichtdicken und Brechungsindizes anhand selbst entwickelter Testkörper diskutiert.
