Title Supported Particle Track Etched Polyimide Membranes: A grazing incidence small-angle x-ray scattering study
Date 08.11.2004
Number 11985
Abstract Particle track etched polyimide membranes on silicon substrates covered with a native oxide layer areinvestigated. Preparation steps similar to the common classical particle track etched membrane production,giving rise to free-standing membranes, are successfully applied to the supported membranes. Polyimidefilms are used as a starting material for a template preparation based on high energy ion irradiation. Thefilm/membrane structure is probed at different length scales by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scatteringat each individual preparation step. In addition, characterization with atomic force microscopy, variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared transmission, and attenuated total reflectionspectroscopy is performed. An amount of 6 ± 1 vol % pores inside the polyimide film is detected. The poresare oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface and have a conical shape, yielding a slightly reducedpore size at the substrate/film interface.
