Abstract We review laboratory data and models on sputter-induced erosion and chemical alterations of ice films and apply the results to icy grains and satellites exposed to magnetospheric ion bombardment. We show that the source of the plasma in the inner magnetosphere of Saturn is likely to be the sputter erosion of the icy objects in this region and consider the sputter erosion and possible stabilization of the E-ring. Ion-induced polymerization is discussed as a source of the darkened rings of Uranus.
