Description

Ion implantation on polystyrene (PS) was carried under various conditions to figure out the ion implantation effect on the surface. Ar ion implantation was performed at an energy of 100 keV with fluences from 1 X 1013 to 1 X 1017 ions cm-2 at room temperature. The surface properties of implanted polystyrene were investigated by means of FT-IR, contact angle and XPS analysis. The contact angles gradually decreased up to 58 degrees angle with increasing fluences up to 1 X 1015 ions cm-2, beyond which it increased. On the basis of XPS results, it was observed that the O/C atomic ratio also increases with increasing fluences up to 1 X 1015 ions cm-2, beyond which it decreased
