The bombardment of a approximately 18 nm film of poly(trans-isoprene) molecules (approximately 300,000 carbon atoms per molecule) with a mass-separated proton beam at 10 eV has been shown to induce highly efficient cross-linking of several macromolecules per incident proton. In this new method using physical means to conduct synthetic chemistry, the hyperthermal protons preferentially cleave C-H bonds because of their unusual kinematics in hydrocarbons, and the carbon radicals thus created initiate a polymerization chain reaction of the isoprene C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds. The method produces ultrathin polymeric films via cross-linking with a dry process having high chemical selectivity and reactivity but requiring no thermal cost and no chemical additives, conditions that are commonly required in the fabrication of microelectronics and photonics.
