Abstract

The physical and chemical properties of hydrogen ion treated polyterafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials are evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) test. The materials are processed using low energy hydrogen ion shower (LEHIS) produced by a Gas Discharge Ion Source (GDIS). The duration of treatment and ion shower energy are varied to determine their effects on the PTFE specimens. Short treatment times of 15 and 30 minutes are used with plasma discharge current (I_d) varied at intervals of 0.5 mA. The surface modification is essentially morphological as there is no observable shifting of the IR-absorption peaks for all the samples.
