Ion Implantation of Polymers: Formation of Nanoparticulate Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current paper presents a state-of-the-art review in the field of ion implantation of polymers. Numerous published studies of polymers modified by ion beams are analysed. General aspects of ion stopping, latent track formation and changes of structure and composition of organic materials are discussed. Related to that, the effects of radiothermolysis, degassing and carbonisation are considered. Specificity of depth distributions of implanted into polymers impurities is analysed and the case of high-fluence implantation is emphasised. Within rather broad topic of ion bombardment, the focus is put on the low-energy implantation of metal ions causing the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles in the shallow polymer layers. Electrical, optical and magnetic properties of metal/polymer composites are under the discussion and the approaches towards practical applications are overviewed.

Influence of Ni Deposition and Subsequent N+ Ion Implantation at Different Implantation Energies on Nano-Structure and Corrosion Behavior of 316 Stainless Steels
Nickel films of 300 nm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation at room temperature on 316 stainless steels. Corrosion studies of Ni coated 316 SS have been performed after N+ ion implantation at different energies of 20, 40, 60 and 80 keV. The structure and surface morphology of the films were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) an...

Titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. The major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. The surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. Different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implan...
متن کاملMetal Ion Implanted Compliant Electrodes in Dielectric Electroactive Polymer (EAP) Membranes
One of the key factors to obtain large displacements and high efficiency with dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAPs) actuators is to have compliant electrodes. Attempts to scale DEAPs down to the mm or micrometer range have encountered major difficulties, mostly due to the challenge of micropatterning sufficiently compliant electrodes. Simply evaporating or sputtering thin metallic films on e...

متن کاملSynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles in Dielectric Matrix by Ion Implantation: a Review
Results on ion-synthesis and optical absorption properties of silver nanoparticles in various dielectrics are reviewed. Composites prepared by the low energy ion implantation are characterized by the growth of metal particles with a size distribution in the depth from the irradiated substrate surface. Such structures lead to specific optical properties of implanted materials, partially to diffe...
