Classical MD computer simulations are used as a tool for the theoretical investigation of the processes initiated in carbon‐based materials by the irradiation with C 60 and Ar n clusters. This paper shows the comparison of data regarding the chemical reactions occurring in polystyrene and fullerite bombarded by C 60 and Ar n projectiles with the initial energy of 2.5 and 10 keV. Its main focus is to elucidate the influence of material type on the bond breaking as new bond formation processes induced by impinging cluster projectiles. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
