Abstract: | Pulsed IR laser-induced decomposition of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) loaded with nanometer-sized Cu and micrometer-sized Fe particles results in the formation of gaseous products and deposition of polar crosslinked polymer films which contain metal (Cu and Fe) particles. The main volatile products are hydrocarbons, carbon oxides (CO and CO2), molecular hydrogen and acetic acid. The deposited polymer films were characterized by FTIR, UV and XP spectra and by electron microscopy and thermogravimetry. They contain reactive conjugated CC bonds and ca. 50% of the initially present acetate groups. Residual reactivity of the CC bonds results in polymer crosslinking and decrease in solubility. The deposited, crosslinked PVAC-based films containing metal particles are less thermally stable than similar films not containing these particles. The reported process reveals feasible ablation of metal particles when embedded in a polymer and makes it possible to fabricate films of metal/polymer composites in which metal particles are completely protected by the polymer. |
