Ion Beam Modification of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Radiation Effects in Polymeric Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

In this chapter, we review fundamental issues related to the damaging processes of PMMA films induced by high-energy ions with kinetic energies from a few keV to a few GeV, covering the regimes of energy deposition dominated by nuclear collisions and by electronic excitation. Emphasis is given to present an overview of the bond-breaking processes, the changes in the polymer chemical structure, and the corresponding modifications in selected macroscopic physical properties (optical, mechanical, and electrical).
