  • Publication number: 20130115449
    Abstract: A method of grafting monomers (M) in a deep layer (1) in an organic material by using an ion beam (X), wherein the ion dose per unit area is selected so as to be in the range of 1012 ions/cm2 to 1018 ions/cm2 so as to create a reservoir of free radicals (1) within a large thickness in the range 0 nm to 3000 nm. Hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic and/or antibacterial monomers (M) are grafted in the reservoir of free radicals (1). Organic materials with hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and/or antibacterial properties that are effective for long-term use are thus advantageously obtained.

  • Publication number: 20130112553
    Abstract: A treatment method for treating at least one surface of a solid polymer part wherein multi-energy ions X+ and X2+ are implanted simultaneously, where X is the atomic symbol selected from the list constituted by helium (He), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), and xenon (Xe), and wherein the ratio RX, where RX=X+/X2+, with X+ and X2+ expressed as atomic percentages, is less than or equal to 100, for example less than 20. This results in very significant reductions in the surface resistivity of the parts treated in this way, the appearance of antistatic properties or of electrostatic charge dissipation properties. By way of example, the ions X+ and X2+ are supplied by an ECR source.
