In order to explore the feasibility of nuclear track modification for anti-metallic contamination, polyester membranes with different thickness were bombarded by 32 S ions from the HI-13 tandem accelerator of CIAE. The tracks formed on the surface of the membranes were etched under different conditions. The insulating capability of the treated membranes was evaluated by using silver coatings to simulate the surface metallic contamination. The results indicated insulators with the surface modified by nuclear pore technique have an improved capability of anti-contamination of metals. The sample with 144 nm Ag coating is not breakdown under 1000 V. Nuclear Tracks High voltage Anti-metallic contamination References Fischer B E , Albrecht D , Spohr R .
