What is Reproducible XPS on biopolymers: cellulose studies about?
## Abstract The development of ‘user‐friendly’ surface analytical instrumentation has expanded the application of x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) towards softer and more complex composite materials. However, the knowledge of fundamental phenomena in practical, interdisciplinary applications is dearly needed. In the case of polymers and polymer‐based or ‐reinforced composites, the analytical problems are not only related to detection limits and resolution; indeed, the effects of contamination and experimental artefacts on interpretation of the carbon signal are often the more crucial challenge. As a biopolymer, natural cellulose fibres provide an interesting model system for polymer studies. Numerous published XPS studies on lignocelluloses highlight both the possibilities and the problems of the surface analytical probes in analysis of air‐exposed organic materials. We report XPS experiments of cellulosic natural fibre materials, discussing the effects of sample storage, UHV exposure, radiation doses, charging and data analysis. Based on a large body of experimental data we also propose that clean paper specimens could be used as an __in‐situ__ reference in polymer studies.
