Abstract
Plasma polymerization of methane in a magnetically enhanced capacitively coupled bell jar reactor operating at a frequency of 10 kHz is reported. Dependence of polymer deposition rate on monomer feed rate (F), composite power parameter (W/FM), electrode temperature, and electrode cleanliness have been examined. Such functional properties as wettability, adhesion, and thermal stability of the polymer are found to depend on the composite power parameter (W/FM) of the plasma. The permeability studies indicate highly crosslinked nature of the polymer. ESCA studies reveal code position of electrode material with the polymer under high W/FM conditions, potential applications of plasma polymer of methane are suggested.
