Abstract
The nature of the surface (i.e. ~50Å) of a polymer is of crucial importance in determining many physical, chemical and mechanical properties and this arises since solids communicate with the rest of the universe by way of the surface. A detailed ESCA examination has been made of the nature of the surface fluoropolymer produced by interaction of high density polyethylene films with fluorine diluted in nitrogen which demonstrate the great potential of ESCA in this area. The topics discussed will include inter alia:
-
(i)
The preparation and surface characterization of polymer films.
-
(ii)
Direct measurement of fluorination depth (in the 0–50A range) as a function of reaction conditions.
-
(iii)
Stoichiometry and structure and bonding of surface and subsurface as a function of reaction conditions.
-
(iv)
Kinetics and mechanisms of the processes involved.
