Abstract
Surface structures of PETN and plastic bonded PETN were studied by high resolution X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS). The coating material is a copolymer of vinyl chloride and chlorotrifluoroethylene. Specimen with 4 wt. Z coating material on PETN were used in these studies. High resolution elemented XPS spectra of F ls, N ls, C ls, and Cl 2p indicate that the surface of coated PETN (LX-16) show the surface layer to be thinner than 100A. 3He+ ISS data on LX-16 suggest that the coating on PETN is not uniform and is, in fact absent in some regions.Keywords
