Abstract
Blisters formation on the surface of kapton film has been observed due to 50 MeV Li3+ ion irradiation up to the fluence of 1.04×1014 ions/cm2 at ambient temperature. This investigation provides a foundation for a quantitative evaluation of the FTIR results for thermally stable polymer on the chemical bond deterioration with irradiation fluences. The blistering mechanism is correlated with the internal gases (CO, H2) released due to Li3+ ion induced radiation damage. The Vicker's micro‐hardness testing has been carried out to study the mechanical behavior of irradiated films at room temperature. It is observed that the true bulk hardness of the film was obtained at loads greater than 400 mN. The hardness of the film increases significantly as fluence increases.
