 note = {Polymer ablation phenomenon by thermal plasmas was fundamentally investigated using the inductively coupled thermal plasma irradiation technique. It is greatly important to understand interactions between a thermal plasma and polymer materials, for example, for design of low voltage and high voltage circuit breakers. In the present experiment, the Ar induction thermal plasma was directly irradiated to different five kinds of polymer solid bulks. Spectroscopic observation was carried out to measure C<sub>2</sub> spectra, and the C<sub>2</sub> vibrational-rotational temperatures were estimated in different polymer ab-lated vapors. In addition, the measured mass loss and power loss due to ablation were compared among the different five polymer materials. Results showed that the polymethylene needed the highest power loss for ablation although there is little difference in the vibra-tional temperatures near the polymer surface among the five polymer materials., 金沢大学理工研究域電子情報学系},
