XPS study of polymer chain conformation in amorphous and crystalline poly(ethyleneterephthalate) sample

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

The chain conformations at the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with amorphous and crystalline (bioriented film) morphologies are characterized by means of IR-ATR spectroscopy. Experimental XPS valence bands are analysed with the help of theoretically simulated XPS valence band spectra for model molecules of PET chains in different conformations. The differences observed in the experimental spectra of the samples are tentatively interpreted as being of conformational origin.
