Diamond-Like Carbon from irradiated Polystyrene? Anybody..please explain is it possible?

02 February 2018 1 9K Report

Trying hard to understand why benzene ring in Polystyrene is affected much more when bombarded with laser irradiation. The structural changes from Amorphous Polystyrene-Graphite Oxide-Graphene before turning into Diamond-like Carbon.
