Plasma treated polymers are becoming more significant in materials applications. Angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) is a useful tool for the analysis of these types of materials, where the modification takes place at various depths in the surface. Advanced data collection protocols, which make use of the Thermo Scientific's unique parallel angle resolving capability, were employed to minimise sample damage whilst maintaining data quality. Additionally, state-of-the-art software was used to maximise the information extracted from the ARXPS data.
