Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Plasma treatment is a widely used simple and ecofriendly method to improve the surface wettability of polymers. However, this is challenging for fluorinated polymers because of their robust C F bonds with low surface energies. Here, we demonstrated a simple approach, involving Ar-H 2 and O 2 -H 2 two-step ion beam treatments, to achieve superhydrophilic fluorinated polymer surfaces. The effects of surface roughness and chemical composition on the water contact angle (WCA) were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. After the single H 2 ion beam treatment on fluorinated ethylene propylene films, the WCA decreased from 110.2° to 35.2° due to defluorination and oxidation effects. However, the H 2 ion beam treatment alone has a limited effect on the root-mean-square (RMS) roughness, which hinders achieving superhydrophilicity. In contrast, the WCA significantly decreased to 1.3° and 1.2°, respectively after the Ar-H 2 and O 2 -H 2 two-step ion beam treatments. Although the chemical composition after these treatments was similar to that after the single H 2 ion beam treatment, the RMS roughness increased upon the Ar and O 2 ion beam treatments because of the formation of nanostructures. Our results show that nanostructures with abundant polar oxygen bonds are required to obtain superhydrophilic surfaces in fluorinated polymers.
