Abstract
The surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied by low energy He/sup +/ ion scattering (ISS). Modifications of the surface composition induced by the He/sup +/ and Ar/sup +/ bombardments are observed. The ion bombardment causes surface damages with bond breaking and it results a highly activated surface for the chemisorption of nitrogen from the residual gas phase. Similar effects were observed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite when analyzed in the same beam conditions.
