Abstract
The kinetics and morphological peculiarities of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating growth from the active gas phase on differently treated substrates by solvent, N+ or Ar+ ions are considered. Wettability of thin films was tested using water and glycerin liquids for contact angle measurements, furthermore surface energy was also calculated. Chemical composition of the deposited thin polymeric films was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), film morphology was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). An additional mathematical analysis of the cluster formation images was carried out. It was found that the substrate surface energy effects on the distribution of polymer microparticles both at the initial stage as well as during coating growth. The substrate surface activation by ion beam results formation of a continuous low-molecular coating with a thinner apparent thickness.
