Abstract

The surface of chemically modified polytetrafluoroethylene, obtained by introducing 1 mol % perfluoropropyl vinyl ether in the polytetrafluoroethylene macromolecule chain, has been studied using Raman spectroscopy. Three conventional zones with varying degrees of modification are distinguishable on the surface, and the spectrum of the ablation crater is fundamentally different from that of the pristine polymer. The crater spectrum, showing a general rise in the baseline, exhibits new bands due to both double carbon bonds and absorption bands of CF3 groups. A key factor in the laser ablation process is the influence of defects in the regular structure of polymer macromolecules, both intrinsically present in the polymer and induced by laser irradiation.
