Abstract :
This paper deals with the influence of experimental conditions on properties of melamine formaldehyde resin particles. Motivation for this study was the fact that many laboratories and experimenters use these particles as samples for dust plasma investigations. We have found that the mass of these grains decreases during long-time exposure in vacuum. This decrease proceeds much faster if the temperature of grains is increased.
