“…Surface free energy, that is, the sum of the polar force and the dispersion force, was calculated by measuring the contact angles of three different polar liquids (water and diiodomethane). From the measured contact angles, the polar forces and the dispersion forces were calculated using the Owen method (Soliman et al, 2013). Figure 2 shows the relation between the electrical discharge current, I d , and the electrical discharge voltage, V d , at pressures P = 2 × 10 -4 mbar using Argon gas.…”

“…Cold cathode ion source was used to obtain the plasma and Argon ion beams and consequently irradiation PET surface using plasma and Argon ions. PET is polyester having a high melting point due to the presence of aromatic ring and has a very good mechanical strength (Soliman et al, 2013). It is semi-crystalline in nature and is resistant to heat and moisture and virtually unattached by many chemicals.…”

“…Contact angle measurement is easily performed by establishing the tangent (angle) of a liquid drop with a solid surface. (Soliman et al, 2013). To obtain these unknown parameters, one has to use contact angle measurements of at least two different liquids from Table 1. The change in the contact angle on PET as a function of plasma expoure time and ion beam fluence are shown in Figure 7a and b, respectively.…”

Plasma and ion beams are considered tools that can improve existing materials or create new materials. Their technology is widely used to alter the surface properties of polymers without affecting their bulk properties. The treated polymers have found various applications in microelectronics, biomedical and chemical industries. In this work, the use of Argon plasma and Argon ions produced from cold cathode ion source as a method for the morphology and wettability of Semi crystalline polyethylene terephtalate (PET) foils are investigated. A cold cathode ion source was used as a preparation tool of the surface of polyethylene terephthalate PET polymer substrate to be ready for various applications as coating or thin film deposition. Argon ions of 1.5 keV are produced from the cold cathode ion source with an operating gas pressure of 2 × 10-4 mbar. The induced effects in the structure, surface morphology, and surface wettability were investigated by means of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and by the contact angle methods, respectively. The change in the contact angle on PET as a function of Argon plasma time and ion beam fluence was also studied. Changes in surface free energy of polymer surface after Argon plasma irradiation were observed.

In this study, CR-39 and Makrofol plastic nuclear track detectors were irradiated with low-energy electron beams to study the effect of the induced changes on their optical and chemical properties. Surface chemical changes were recorded by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, which showed successive degradation and crosslinking for CR-39 and decomposition for Makrofol. The optical band gap was determined by UVvis spectroscopy. Also, the parameters of carbon cluster formation and disordering (Urbach's energy) occurring on plastic surfaces were examined. The intrinsic viscosity changes were investigated as well. As a result, low-energy electron beams were found to be useful for the control of many properties of the surfaces of the investigated detectors.

“…However, for coating applications, such polymers have low-quality surface properties [10]. During the deposition process, ion irradiation is a good way to change the adhesion properties of the polymer [11]. Crosslinking, radical formation, and chain scission occur as a result of ions bombardment, which modifying the adhesion surface properties of the deposited metal on the polymer substrate [12].…”

In this study thin copper (Cu) films are deposited on poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrate using ion beam sputtering technique. The films are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV–VIS spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM) techniques. The Raman spectrum shows some decrease in the intensities of Raman bands for Cu/PTFE film than pristine PTFE. UV–VIS transmittance spectra display that the optical transmission reduces from ~75% for pristine PTFE to ~0.20% after 60 min of deposition due to Cu nanoparticles dispersed in PTFE. The surface roughness is increased from 39.4 nm for PTFE to 75.9 nm, while the adhesion force is increased from 9.6 nN to 14.7 nN and Young’s modulus is enhanced from 0.58 GPa to 1.46 GPa after 40 min of Cu deposition time. The DC electrical conductivity at an applied voltage of 200 V is improved from 3.88 × 10–8 S.cm−1 for PTFE to 5.3 × 10–8 S.cm−1 after 60 min of deposition at room temperature. The fabricated Cu/PTFE films exhibit excellent surface properties, which demote that Cu/PTFE films could serve as a low cost material for a broad range of electrical and charge storing devices.
