A Study of Glow Discharge Polymerization as a Means of Modifying the Surface of Polymers.

摘要

Surfaces of polymers treated by Ar and N2plasma and of glow discharge polymerized polymers were investigated by Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA). A method to coat the inside of small diameter tubing was established and the distribution of coating in a tube was examined. It is possible to coat the inside of 8-10mm I.D. tubing of length 12in. by the method. The internal stress build up in the coating layer formed by glow discharge polymerization was investigated by the measuring curling of a composite film. Using this method,characteristic internal stress in some plasma polymers were compared. Glow discharge polymer of tetramethyldisiloxane seems to yield relatively less internal stress compared to other monomers.
