The formation of nanostructured carbon material on a ferrocene-containing polymer surface induced by a high-power ion beam

Аннотация

The surface morphology and the composition of polymer layers based on chlorinated polyvinylchloride with addition of ferrocene (up to 10% of the polymer mass) subject to the action of a nanosecond high-power ion beam are studied. It is demonstrated that carbon material in the form of nanofibers with an average diameter of 80 nm and a length of up to 10 μm is formed on a surface singly irradiated by such beam with a current density of ∼100 A/cm². A possible mechanism of the observed phenomenon is discussed.
