Abstract :
It has been reported that ion beam irradiation can modify the surface of PTFE or ePTFE morphologically and chemically and that it could be possible to improve their poor adhesion property with other materials as reported in (Koh et al., 1997) and biological tissue in (Takahashi et al., 2003) or to obtain the surface suitable for gas adsorbates and electrodes presented in (Kobayashi et al., 2003) by ion beam irradiation. In this study, the effects of ion beam irradiation on surface morphology of PTFE and ePTFE were investigated in detail.
