V. Svorcik et al., THE INFLUENCE OF IMPLANTATION CONDITIONS ON THE SURFACE-STRUCTURE OF POLYPROPYLENE, Journal of applied polymer science, 49(7), 1993, pp. 1299-1301
The influence of the fluence and the energy of implanted F+ ions on th
e surface structure of polypropylene was studied by measuring the cont
act angle and UV-visible spectra. With increasing ion fluence and ener
gy, the polar component of the surface energy increases. At the same t
ime, the number and the length of double-conjugated bindings in the po
lymer also increase. With higher ion energy, an increasing number of c
onjugations are observed but their length remains unchanged. (C) 1993
