Barrier properties of plasma-polymerized thin films

Optimization and synthesis of plasma polymerized proton exchange membranes for direct methanol fuel cells

“…In the case that methanol diffuses through a plane sheet or a membrane of thickness, L m , the concentration of methanol in the receptor compartment as function of diffusion time can be expressed as [57,58]:…”

Polymer Films with Embedded Metal Nanoparticles

“…Due to their large variety of chemical and physical properties, these films have been proposed for very different applications. Otherwise, because of the strong dependence on the deposition properties of films made from these and other monomers, it has been reported that they can also be used as gas separation layers or gas permeation layers [43,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72]. Organosilicon monomers like hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN), hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO), vinyltrimethylsilane (VTMS), tetramethylsilane (TMS) or various other silanes, but also ethanes and ethenes as well as fluorocarbons like perfluorobenzene were the main components used.…”

X‐Ray Reflectometry Characterization of Plasma Polymer Films Synthesized from Triallylamine: Density and Swelling in Water

“…[4] During the last decade, our group and others have begun studying the application of plasma polymerized materials as components of fuel cells and especially as ion-exchange membranes. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This original approach requires a judicious choice of the precursor (also called monomer) and the adjustment of plasma parameters so that the manufactured plasma polymers could present ion-exchange properties. This study deals precisely with the implementation of plasma polymerization using triallylamine as precursor.…”
