Abstract
It has been studied how photoelectron and CKVV spectra of partially crystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) are modified during a long-term degradation of its surface under soft X-rays (AlK α), which is accompanied by a flow of secondary electrons having different energies, and upon exposure to a unfocused beam of 600 eV Ar+ ions. In both cases, the surface layer of the sample is enriched with carbon owing to defluorination. The shape of the electron emission spectra of the carbonized layer depends on an external effect; that is, whether soft X-ray photons or ions are used for defluorination. In the case of bombardment with Ar+, there is clear evidence for the dominance of the sp2 bonds between carbon atoms, as can be seen from the specific shape of the C KVV band and the C1s spectrum. The most surprising result of this study is that both photons and ions produce the same depth gradient of residual fluorine at an equal fluorine concentration in the carbonized surface layer. The reason for this is not clear and needs further investigation.
