Description

High-energy ion beams (He, C, Ne, Mg, Si Ar, Fe, Kr, Xe) from MEXP port in Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) were irradiated to various fluorinated polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly (ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) under vacuum at room temperature (RT). The microfabrication of PTFE, FEP and PFA were demonstrated by direct etching using various high energy heavy ion beams. The etching rates of PTFE showed about 0.46 x 10-13 μm/(n/cm2)-1.5 x 10-13 μm/(n/cm2). Moreover, a novel functionally-gradient polymer electorate fuel cell membrane was fabricated with high energy heavy ion beam irradiation due to gradient energy deposition. (author)
