Photoprimary Processes and Nanometer-Nanosecond Morphological Dynamics of Polymer Films Studied by Pump and Probe Measurement

  • Published : 1999.05.01

Abstract

Intense excimer laser irradiation of polymer films results in expansion and the following contraction , recovering ithe initial flat surface. The morphological dynamics is meausred directly by nanosecond time-resolved interferometry for polystyrene(PS), polyurethane, and polyimide films. The expansion proceeds with a speed of a few nm/ns , while the contraction depends upon the polymer ; very low contraction for PS, rapid 2 component shrinking for polyurethane, and rapid monotonous decay for polymide. These characteristic behavior are considered from viewpoints of interpenetrating structures of polymers, glass-rubber phase transitioni, thermal diffusion, and photothermal mechanism.
