Conclusion • Free positron annihilation lifetime might be able to give information of change of free volume of polymers, such as Kapton. But "free positron" is not free!! We should understand positron chemistry !! • Kapton lifetime for source correction for the lifetime analysis should not be obtained with no irradiated Kapton and might be about 378ps at room temperature.
