Abstract

Plasma polymerisation offers an ecological, potentially tuneable route to selectively and controllably change the physics and chemistry of the outer surface of a material by deposition of pinhole free, conformal thin films. In the investigation, a low pressure non-equilibrium plasma is useful for the preparation of films from a homologous series of alkyl acrylates from methyl to butyl and methyl methacrylate, deposited on planar supports of organic nature (paper). The resulting plasma polymers are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, AFM and contact angle.

Keywords
