Positron annihilation in polymers with highly developed specific surface
PAL spectroscopy and a technique for low-temperature gas sorption together with Brunauer-Emett-Teller (BET) theory [1] were used for the studies of elementary free volumes (EFV) in super-cross-linked polystyrene networks [2,3]. The ranges of effective sizes observed by PAL and BET overlap partly confirming and complementing each other very effectively.
