TI  - Surface modification of polymers treated by various fluorinating media.
PG  - 495-504
AB  - Fluorination processes of polymer surfaces are able to lead to drastic 
      modifications of the surface properties without changing the bulk characteristics 
      of the virgin material. In this paper, two types of polymers, i.e. ultrahigh 
      molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), are 
      considered. The surface of these materials have been modified using two different 
      fluorination routes, both carried out at room temperature: the direct 
      fluorination with 10% F2 + 90% He gaseous mixtures and the radio-frequency 
      plasma-enhanced fluorination (PEF) using either O2/CF4 mixtures or c-C4F8. The 
      effect of these processes on the surface of the polymer samples are compared 
      using mostly XPS results. The different components of the C1s spectra are 
      assigned in term of CFx bonding, giving valuable information on the surface 
      fluorination rate.
