Highly adherent metallization via direct covalent bonding of transition metals to plasma modified fluoropolymers

摘要

Due to the properties such as low surface energy, low dielectric constant, high thermal stability, inertness to most chemicals and excellent weatherability, fluoropolymers are of great scientific interest. In addition they are of considerable importance in microelectronic, sensor, biomedical, textile, filtration, and many other technologies Fluoropolymers are inert to most chemical treatments which is an advantage for many applications, but this property also makes adhesion of other materials to fluoropolymer substrates difficult. Therefore, methods for adhering inorganic metals and organic materials to fluoropolymers receive continuing attention.
