Abstract
Nonporous films were formed on polypropylene (PP) films using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTEOS) as the only precursor. The PP film was modified by corona-plasma treatment to provide appropriate adhesion between coating layer and substrate. Gas permeation properties of coating films were evaluated, and the influences of water ratio and film storing time on the gas permeability were investigated. Structural and surface properties of coating layers were characterized by 29Si-NMR, FT-IR, and contact angle analyzer. The APTEOS coating films exhibit much higher barrier properties than PP film. The permeability coefficient of APTEOS coating film with water ratio of 3 is 0.011Barrer for nitrogen, 0.044Barrer for oxygen, and 0.002Barrer for carbon dioxide, while each permeability coefficient of PP bare film is 0.233, 0.858, and 2.886Barrer, respectively. The gas permeability coefficient is increased slowly along with storage time. Although additionally formed siloxane network may lead to a higher inorganic network density, the enhancement of gas permeability during storing period is largely attributed to film-swelling effect by the water vapor from atmosphere.
