Abstract
This research work is devoted to the study of surface chemical behavior of Ni irradiated Kapton-H. The surface chemical
behaviour is studied by etching process. The etching was done for three hours at each time interval of 30 mins and at two
temperatures 40 degree and 50 degree Celsius. The parameters studied are thickness of polymeric sample with etching at
the above mentioned two temperatures. These studies are conducted for pristine sample as well as Ni irradiated polymeric
samples temperatures. The results clearly show that etch rate increases in case of Ni irradiated samples and with
temperature increase. These studies are useful for industrial optoelectronic applications of Kapton-H..
