Abstract

Implanted, polymeric films have been produced by accelerator-ion-beam irradiation of metallic substrates immersed in hydrocarbon gases. Typical substrates include silver, aluminum, and steel; hydrocarbon gases include 1,3 butadiene and ethylene at 6.6 Pa pressure; ion beams employed include singly ionized H, He, and Ar at 30 keV. Experimental procedures and corrosion-resistance properties of the films are reviewed (each discussed elsewhere). A theory of the film-formation process is presented. It is concluded that the films form as the result of a two-stage process: glow-discharge adhesion and polymerization followed by radiation-induced implantation resulting from collisional recoil and substrate sputtering.
