The performance of a carbon foil (C-foil) as a charge stripper in an accelerator is directly affected by its condition and quality.C-foils are fabricated by evaporating carbon onto a substrate.Therefore, a suitable technique must be established for depositing and removing C-foils from substrates.The selection of appropriate releasing agents is crucial for the removal process.

C-foils with thicknesses less than 0.1 mg/cm2 were produced using Commercial the arc discharge method, wherein chloride materials were used as releasing agents.The magnetron sputtering method is suitable for manufacturing C-foils thicker than 0.1 mg/cm2 using appropriate releasing agents, such as fluorine-based or silicon-based agents.

The contact angle analysis demonstrates a negative relationship between the C-foil thickness and the wettability of the substrate treated with Originals Ribbed Tank an appropriate releasing agent.The possibility of using ionic liquids as novel releasing agents is also investigated.
