Abstract

![CDATA[Surface properties of two commercial plastics, SKYPET-BB polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and Lexan (Polycarbonate) sheet, have been modified by implanting aluminium, silicon, nitrogen and hydrogen ions into samples of the plastics. Aluminium and silicon ions were implanted into the PET and Lexan samples at three different dose levels using a Metal Vapour Vacuum Arc Ion Source implantation system. Hydrogen and nitrogen ions were implanted at two different dose levels in a Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation Facility. Diffusion rates of Helium through the PET samples were determined at 19°C for pressures of He from 0.5 to 2.5atm. The diffusion rates of helium through the aluminium and silicon implanted samples were much lower than the diffusion rate through the implanted PET; nitrogen implantation had little effect. Lexan samples were characterised by wear testing using a CHESM Tribometer. Hydrogen implanted samples exhibited a dramatic reduction in wear rate.]]
