“…Despite numerical studies of carbonization processes in polymers, the problem remains to understand better how the carbonaceous phase or carbon nanostructures formed under high-dose ion implantation could be dependent on the type of polymer matrix. In this respect, a lot of efforts have been made by researchers studying the B + -ion implantation into various polymer matrix such as polycarbonate, Kapton, polyethylene, polyamide, polyimide, poly(ethylene terephthalate), cellulose, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethersulfone, and others ( [2,4,5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and references therein). At the same time, the B + -ion implantation into widely used in practice polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was not studied so far.…”
