Abstract

Plasma polymerization is a contactless coating method with monomers of polymers in a plasma discharge [1, 2]. The monomers polymerize in the plasma and are deposited on the substrate. Thin polymer coatings have other properties than polymer foils, which are manufactured by conventional methods, e.g. by evaporation of solvents from the polymer solution or by lamination from the polymer melt. A condition for this process is the presence of chain-forming atoms such as carbon, silicon or sulphur in the process gas. Since the monomer molecules are fractured in the plasma to reactive particles, the chemical structure of the outlet gas in the polymer coating remains at most partial, which entails crosslinking and unordered structuring.
