Abstract

Carboxyl groups were photochemically substituted for hydrogen atoms at a polyphenylenesulfide surface by using an KrF excimer laser light and vaporized formic acid. In the process, the polyphenylenesulfide film was placed in the formic acid vapor, and the surface was irradiated with the KrF excimer laser light. Irradiating with the laser, the surface was dehydrogenated by the hydrogen atoms which were photodissociated from the formic acid; the dangling bonds on the surface combined with the COOH radicals which were also photodissociated. The hydrophilic property of the photomodified surface was evaluated by the measurement of the contact angle with water. The dehydrogenation reaction and the substitution reaction of the COOH radicals were inspected by XPS analysis. Surface morphology of the sample was observed by SEM photograph.
