The influence of the fluence and the energy of implanted F + ions on the surface structure of polypropylene was studied by measuring the contact angle and UV‐visible spectra. With increasing ion fluence and energy, the polar component of the surface energy increases. At the same time, the number and the length of double‐conjugated bindings in the polymer also increase. With higher ion energy, an increasing number of conjugations are observed but their length remains unchanged. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
