Title: Ion implantation method for preparing polymers having oxygen erosion resistant surfaces

Abstract

Hard surfaced polymers and the method for making them are generally described. Polymers are subjected to simultaneous multiple ion beam bombardment, that results in a hardening of the surface, improved wear resistance, and improved oxygen erosion resistance.
