Abstract

AbstractPlasma‐polymerized styrene films were studied by static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The two techniques were found to yield complementary data regarding film chemical structure. Static SIMS proved to be highly sensitive to subtle changes in surface chemistry. For example, the static SIMS spectra exhibited features due to polymer cross‐linking and unsaturation. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy provided a good indication of the extent of oxygen incorporation into the plasma‐deposited films and characterization of time‐dependent changes in film composition.
