Abstract

An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of laser treated and heat treated Kapton®indicates that both the treatments result in depleting the carbonyl groups from the sample and leave behind a conducting residue that still contains significant amounts of oxygen and nitrogen. The rapid changes in surface composition coincide with a substantial decrease in the electrical resistivity of the polyimide samples.
