Abstract The effect of VUV radiation on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film was investigated. A gas-jet type of VUV source with the wavelengths of 5–200 nm was used. The experimental results show that under the VUV irradiation, both the tensile fracture strength and elongation decrease slightly. The spectral absorbance of the PET film increases noticeably with increasing VUV dose. The absorption band mainly forms in the near-ultraviolet region. The XPS, FTIR, and ESR analyses indicate that in the skin layer of PET film irradiated with VUV, the C–O bonds could be broken and decarbonylation occurs, leading to the formation of free radicals of benzene rings as well as a trend of carbonification. The scission of the macromolecule chains, the increase in radical concentration, and the carbonification would cause the degradation in optical properties for the PET film under VUV exposure.
