Polymer materials are used in different fields of industries, from microelectronice to medicine. Ion beam implantation is method of surface modification when surface properties must be significantly changed and bulk properties of material must be saved. Ion Beam Treatment of Polymers contains results of polymer investigations and techniques development in the field of polymer modification by high energy ion beams. This book is intended for specialists in polymer science who have an interest in using an ion beam treatment for improvement of polymer properties, for specialists in physics who search for new applications of ion beam and plasma equipment and also for students who are interested in future fields of high technology
