The chemical reaction of imine groups with vapors of trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) was investigated in detail with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the potential application in chemical derivatization (CD) studies of plasma treated surfaces. Imine groups were at first prepared by conver...
