Abstract

Laser microprobe mass spectrometry was applied for the detection of inhomogeneity of the polycarbonate surface treated with silane coupling agent. Clear difference in spectrum patterns between the treatments with and without a non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant was observed. The chemical bonds between silicon/zirconium and carbon have been confirmed to generate only in the presence of the surfactant which participates in homogenization of the surface.
