X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of miscible poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-co
-acrylonitrile) and immiscible poly(methyl methacrylate)/polyacrylonitrile polymer surfaces metallized by nickel

The polyacrylonitrile(PAN)/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) blend fibers were prepared by wet-spinning technique and carbonized over the temperature range of 400-1000°C in nitrogen atmosphere. After carbonization of the blend fibers, the PMMA component removed and the PAN component left in the form of carbon nanofibers. Morphology of the carbon nanofibers were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the carbonization behavior of the fibers were examined via x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman microspectrometry. The optimal condition made carbon fibers with great L/D ratio and diameter less than 200 nm. XRD and Raman spectra shows that the PAN/PMMA blend fibers treated at 600°C produced some graphite crystallite.

ABSTRACTCu, Ni, and Au were deposited with defined patterns and good adhesion by electroless plating, e-beam evaporation, and sputtering onto Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE), Teflon ET (PTFE-co-ethylene), Teflon FEP (PTFE-co-hexafluoropropylene) and Teflon PFA (PTFE-coperfluoroalkoxy vinyl ether) surfaces. The polymers had been irradiated in a tetramethyl – ammonium hydoxide solution (TMAH) by a Nd:YAG laser at 266 rim and by an excimer laser at 248 nrm prior to the metal deposition process. Both, the treated and virgin polymer surfaces were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. The increased metal to polymer adhesion at the interface was found to be due to chemical changes and is in the order Ni > Cu ≅ Au.
