Abstract

The surface topography of samples of graphite USB-15, pyrolytic carbon PGI, pyrolitic graphite UPV-1, and polyimide PM-1E exposed to accelerated oxygen-plasma beams has been studied by scanning electron microscopy. Surface etching by fast oxygen particles results in the formation of a system of cone/column-like protrusions. As the material mass loss increases, the protrusions increase in size, and the surface topography transforms. Etching of carbon-based materials leads to enrichment of the surface layer with carbon, which is most pronounced in the boron-doped graphite.
