Surface modification and adhesion improvement of PTFE film by ion beam irradiation

Surface modification of porous poly(tetrafluoraethylene) film by a simple chemical oxidation treatment

“…To broaden its applications in industrial field, the surface modification of PTFE has been explored by several methods, such as low-pressure plasma processing [9], atmospheric pressure plasma jet [10], particle beam irradiation [11], irradiation of synchrotron radiation (SR) [12], surface graft polymerization [5] and ''wet'' chemical treatment [13]. All of these treatments lead to improvements in adhesion and wettability.…”

Topological and chemical investigation on super-hydrophobicity of PTFE surface caused by ion irradiation

“…Much work has been done on modifying the PTFE surface character like adhesion, compatibility, wettability [11][12][13]. Ion beam at different energy range were utilized to change the hydrophobicity of PTFE surface, both energy and fluence dependence were investigated [9,16].…”

Effects of copper interfacial layer on surface characteristics, adhesion and wear durability of fluorocarbon thin film sputtered onto polyimide film substrate

“…Hong et al also revealed that the adhesion between the Cu thin film and PI film substrate was improved by plasma source ion implantation [17]. Lee et al revealed that pristine PTFE surface was modified by 1 kV Ar þ or O 2þ ion beam irradiation, and the CeO complex and CF radical in O 2þ ion irradiated surface contributed to the adhesion between the Cu and the modified PTFE [18].…”
