Fluorocarbon films grown on polystyrene (PS) in vacuum from 25-100 eV CF[sup +][sub 3] and C[sub 3]F[sup +][sub 5] ions are aged by exposure to atmosphere for 4 and 8 weeks, then analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and water contact angle measurements. These fluorocarbon films oxidize with time, showing an increase in their oxygen/ carbon ratio and a decrease in their fluorine/carbon ratio. The decrease in fluorine/carbon ratio with aging is due not only to increased oxygen content, but also to surface restructuring and release of low molecular weight oxidized material from the surface. The higher oxidation and surface restructuring observed upon aging for 100 eV C[sub 3]F[sup +][sub 5] and 50 eV CF[sup +][sub 3] ion-modified PS can be additionally attributed to higher surface bond breakage and active site formation. 100 eV C[sub 3]F[sup +][sub 5] and 50 eV CF[sup +][sub 3] ion-modified PS surfaces are rougher than the 50 eV C[sub 3]F[sup +][sub 5] ion-modified PS. Overall, the aging process of these ion-deposited films appears similar to that of plasma-deposited films. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
