Abstract

By means of microwave-assisted plasma polymerization it is possible to deposit polymer coatings on different surfaces such as plastics or metals. The surface tension can be influenced in a wide range. However, many applications require a high thermal stability of such low surface tension layers. Therefore, the influence of variations of the process parameters on temperature stability of such layers is examined. The produced layers were studied regarding their chemical and physical characteristics under temperature influence by means of contact angle measurements, xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) combined with Fouriertransformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Fluorine containing monomers offer good perspectives. Up to temperatures of approx. 200°C the antiadhesivity of these coatings is adjustable to values close to those of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE).
