Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation was applied to photo-activation bonding of polyoxymethylene (POM) plates. The photo-activated POM plates were bonded directly below the melting point. Their VUV-irradiated POM surfaces were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results of these analyses suggest that the VUV irradiation introduced hydroxy groups through oxidation, mainly of ethylene units.
