Abstract: | Surface treatment of polysulfone by O2, H2, He, Ne, Ar, and CF4 nonisothermal glow discharges has been investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The chemical and topographical modification of the surface is found to be strongly influenced by the type of feed gas employed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
