Abstract
⺠Pristine samples of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) samples were irradiated with 100 MeV silver (Ag8+) ions at fluences ranging from 1010 to 1012 ions cmâ2. ⺠The significant changes in FT-IR spectra, dc conductivity, and surface morphology observed in P3HT samples exposed to Ag8+ ion fluence of 1012 ions cmâ2 suggest the liberation of molecular fragments due to ion impact. ⺠The emission of gases during RGA suggests the probability of fragmentation of alkyl side chains rather than the breaking of thiophene ring. ⺠The obtained polymers can be applied as microstructures with defined conductivity for sensor applications.
