Abstract

Thin gold layers were sputtered on the quaternized polysulfones (containing different tertiary amines—N,N-dimethylethylamine and N,N-dimethyloctylamine, respectively) surfaces unmodified and modified by low-pressure and high-frequency plasma treatment. Adhesion and morphological aspects of complex structures were studied for different gold sputtering and plasma treatment times. Water contact angle, atomic force microscopy, and surface properties reveal that adhesion increases with gold sputtering and plasma treatment times. Values of the mean adhesion force between cantilever and the studied surfaces, measured from AFM investigation, were correlated with quaternized polysulfone structures, modification of hydrophobicity after plasma treatment, and gold deposition on polymer surfaces.
