Abstract
XPS, ATR-FTIR, F-19 MAS solid-state NMR, and imaging TOF-SIMS have been use d to compare the depth and extent of chemical modification achieved during nonisothermal CF4 plasma fluorination of nonporous, mesoporous, and micropo rous polystyrene spheres. It is shown that different depths of functionaliz ation can be achieved by varying the polymer pore architecture. This method ology offers scope for preparing functionalized polymer supports and also p rotecting moisture-sensitive catalysts for handling in air.
