AbstractChanges of surface layer composition produced by ion bombardment of polyethylene and polypropylene samples were studied. These materials are under consideration for load bearing surfaces in biological and technical applications. To improve their tribological properties, surface layers are usually modified by ionizing radiation. Therefore, to study the mechanism of transformations induced by ion beam bombardment selected polymers were implanted with H, He and Ar ions to the fluences ranging from 1×1013 to 2×1016/cm2. RBS and NRA techniques were applied for sample analysis. Important hydrogen release was observed with increasing ion dose and was correlated with the ion stopping power. Another important effect observed was the rapid oxidation of samples, which apparently occurs after exposure of implanted samples to the air. Up to 10 at.% of oxygen can be incorporated in the implanted layer.
