Perfluoro-poly(ethers) with hydroxyl end groups: analysis by TOF-SIMS

Article Abstract:

Perfluoro-poly(ethers)(PFPEs) have extensive industrial and commercial applications. Time-of-flight, secondary ion-mass spectrometric studies were conducted to examine the ionic spectra of PFPE with hydroxyl end groups. They are commercially known as Fomblin Z, Krytox-OH and Demnum-SA. An anomaly was identified in the negative-ion spectrum due to the absence of some fragments of the hydroxyl end groups. The findings suggest that the charge-transfer between the electron donating PFPE-OH and electron-accepting dangling bonds influenced the bonding of PFPE-OH to COC.

Laser ablation of polyethersulfone films: the decomposition of the chain structure and the expansion of neutral species studied by laser ionization mass spectrometry

Article Abstract:

Ablation of polyethersulfone (PES) films at 266 nm has been studied by using laser ionization time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. PES is made up of two phenylene groups, a sulfone group and an ether oxygen with carbon-carbon bonds within the phenylene rings. Neutral products arriving at an ion extraction position of a TOF mass spectrometer were detected by delaying a post-ionization laser pulse. Results indicate that the decomposition of PES occurs due to the scission of the chain itself and the cleavage of some of the phenylene rings.
