Fluoride ions at the Cu–fluoropolymer interface

Abstract: Nanometer thick films of sputtered and evaporated Cu were deposited on the surfaces of the fluoropolymers poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) and poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoropropyl vinyl ether) (PFA) and studied by both angle-resolved XPS at takeoff angles of 10 , 45 and 80 and in situ argon ion etching. Higher yields of the fluoride ion to fluoropolymer ratio were detected for sputtered than evaporated Cu. PFA and FEP show enhanced interaction with… Show more

“…The increasing intensity of the shoulder transforms into the second peak, similar to the F-Cu peak of the F 1s spectrum of submonolayer coverage, but with a notably higher binding energy value (684.0 eV instead of 683.0 eV in the submonolayer case). The similar binding energy value 684.0 eV has been observed for thin copper films adsorbed on fluoropolymers and is typical for the F 1s core level in alkali fluorides . The higher binding energy value of F-Cu bonds in comparison with the submonolayer coverage indicates a higher level of copper atom fluorination.…”

“…The disappearance of the peak at ∼687 eV indicates defluorination of the semi-ionic C−F bond from the basal plane at 24 h reaction. The peak at 689 eV is associated with the covalent C−F bond, 14 and the peak at 684 eV is attributed to the fluoride ion 44 originated from the defluorination of FGO 1h . The C 1s XPS spectra of GO, FGO 1h , and FGO 24h are shown in Figure S6a−c, respectively.…”

“…The patterning of metal nanoparticles on polymer substrates has been of great interest over the past decade because polymer substrates are lightweight, flexible, and lower in cost. Thus, a variety of synthetic polymers have been extensively explored as substrates for patterns of metal nanoparticles. Among these polymers, fluoropolymers such as poly(tetrafluoroethylene- co -perfluorovinyl ether) (PFA), poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), poly(tetrafluoroethylene- co -hexafluoropropylene) (FEP), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), have been considered suitable for metal patterning due to their high thermal stability, superior electric insulation, and excellent chemical resistance. However, the use of these fluoropolymers has been limited in such applications due to their much lower surface energy in comparison to other synthetic polymers. Therefore, fluoropolymers should be subjected to surface modification for such applications.…”
