Mechanisms of argon ion-beam surface modification of polystyrene
Mechanisms of argon ion-beam surface modification of polystyrene
The surface characteristics of polymers are important factors determining their interfacial properties and their technological performance. Changes in physical and chemical properties of a polymer film may be induced by subjecting the material to a variety of surface modification techniques, one of which is ion-beam modification. In order to understand the underlying mechanisms X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the alterations of the polystyrene (PS) surface after Ar-ion treatment under well controlled conditions with low ion doses from 1012 to 1016 cm?2. The ion bombardment leads to surface functionalization, loss of aromaticity, and free radical formation. Induced surface cross-linking and the formation of polar groups raised the surface glass transition temperature of PS film

Abstract
The surface characteristics of polymers are important factors determining their interfacial properties and their technological performance. Changes in physical and chemical properties of a polymer film may be induced by subjecting the material to a variety of surface modification techniques, one of which is ion-beam modification. In order to understand the underlying mechanisms X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the alterations of the polystyrene (PS) surface after Ar-ion treatment under well controlled conditions with low ion doses from 1012 to 1016 cm?2. The ion bombardment leads to surface functionalization, loss of aromaticity, and free radical formation. Induced surface cross-linking and the formation of polar groups raised the surface glass transition temperature of PS film
