摘要: The photodegradation mechanism due to synchrotron radiation exposure of crystalline poly[vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroetylene, P(VDF–TrFE)] copolymer thin films has been studied with ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and mass spectroscopy. Upon increasing x-ray white light (hν⩽1000 eV), UPS measurements reveal that substantial chemical modifications occur in P(VDF–TrFE) 5 monolayer films, including the emergence new valence band features near Fermi level, indicating a semimetallic photodegradeted product. photodetached fragments consist mainly H2, HF, CHF, CH2. This study demonstrates possessing unique technologically important properties, can be directly patterned by lithographic processes.
