We have fabricated C4F8-co-AA polymer coatings by low-pressure plasma deposition. From XPS analysis we find the elemental composition and with the reconstruction of C1s spectra, we find the percentage of carbon-containing groups. As presented in these articles: Article Duty cycle dependent chemical structure and wettability of R...

is it possible to predict chemical structure of polymers from this XPS data?
Dear Muzammil,
Try to deconvolute the C1s, N1s, O1s and F1s spectra and consider those peak BEs with the literature (NIST XPS database). From this, you will be able to find the environment of C, N, O and F. From this, the structure elucidation can be possible.
For information only, you can take help from the following publications:
1. ACS Omega 2018, 3, 472−494
2. Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering 6 (2018) 289–310
3. Polym. Chem., 2017, 8, 6750

Thanks, Dr. Karmakar for your suggestion to find the chemical structure of polymer, I will look into it.
