Abstract

A polyimide (PI) film was implanted with ions of nitrogen and iron, then the friction and wear behaviors of PI film either implanted or unimplanted were investigated by using a friction tester against a steel (SAE 52100 steel) ball. The results show that both of the ion implantation all decrease the friction coefficient as well as the wear rate; and the effect caused by the ion implantation of large dose (e.g. the level of 1016 ions/cm2) is better than that caused by the ion implantation of small dose (e.g. the level of 1014 ions/cm2); especially, the iron ion-implantation at dose of 3×1016 ions/cm2 produces the optimum effects in the surface modification.
