Abstract
A method of applying HREELS as a quantitative analysis technique to th e study of polymer surfaces is presented. For this purpose, a series o f random polystyrenes consisting of perdeuterated and hydrogenated mon omers randomly distributed along the chains was synthesized and charac terized by ERDA and FTIRS. Compositions determined from HREEL spectra of random polymers were then compared to those determined from ERDA an d FTIRS. The agreement between HREELS results and the composition obta ined by the other techniques is good: the isotropic composition of the polymer surface can be determined with an accuracy of the order of 5% .
