A study of pore formation in polyimide films irradiated with high-energy argon, krypton, or tungsten ions and subsequently treated with concentrated hydrogen peroxide is presented. The dimensions of the destruction zone and those of the area of polymer structure modification and increased chemical stability are estimated. The rate of polyimide etching along the tracks, and the selectivity of etching are determined. The feasibility of manufacturing polyimide track membranes with either cylindrical or conical pores is demonstrated.
