Abstract

The structure of the subsurface layer of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) formed by bombardment with low-energy ions of Ar was studied. The reduction in the energy of ions results in the modification of only a thin subsurface layer of a polymer. It was observed that the subsurface region contains a graphitized, cross-linked, and low-molecular weight layers. It was found that the ion etching causes various defects and typical features to appear on the surface of PMMA.
