Plasma Polymerization For Protective Coatings And Composite Membranes

Abstract

Plasma polymers (polymeric material formed by plasma or glow discharge polymerization) can be prepared in the form of an ultrathin layer which is strongly bonded to various substrates (metals, ceramics, and organic polymers) or in the form of a composite membrane deposited onto a porous substrate. Transport characteristics of many plasma polymers are not typical of polymers but are in between those of polymers and of inorganic materials. Because of these unique characteristics, plasma polymers provide remarkable protective barriers and outstanding durability of membranes at very small thickness (e.g., less than 0.1 μm). © 1984.
