Abstract
In this review-paper the author summarizes some important aspects of ″polymer formation″ in the glow discharge polymerization or plasma polymerization, rather than presenting a bibliographical review of work. It is shown that glow discharge polymerization can be visualized as a process consisting of three discharge processes. These are (1) controlled discharge of monomer, (2) electric discharge (glow discharge), and (3) glow discharge polymerization of the monomer. Before the electric discharge is initiated, a steady-state flow of the monomer is generally established. During this controlled discharge of the monomer (without electric discharge), adsorption of the monomer onto the solid surfaces in a reactor and degassing of a substrate, etc., take place. The discussion is presented under headings - scope of polymer syntheses; processing factors of glow discharge polymerization; mechanism of polymer formation. Refs.
