Article Synopsis
- Irradiating polymer surfaces with ion beams causes significant changes in their chemical and physical properties, affecting how the polymer chains interact.
- By adjusting the ion mass and fluence, researchers can manipulate the Young's modulus of polystyrene surfaces, making them behave like rubber.
- The study demonstrates that surface rippling, observed when irradiated polystyrene is heated near its glass transition, allows for the estimation of network density and molar mass of entanglement without the need for expensive chemical tests.
