Investigation of the Performance of Barrel Atmospheric Plasma Source for the Deposition of Fluorocarbon Coating onto Silicone Polymer Particles
Abstract:This study reports on the use of a barrel atmospheric plasma source for the deposition of a fluorocarbon coating onto
the silicone polymer particles. The (Perfluoro-1-Decene) precursor was introduced into helium plasma and coatings
deposited at flow rates in the range 5 to 9 μl/min. The retention of the chemical functionality of the precursor in the
plasma polymerized coating was demonstrated using both XPS and FTIR analysis. This study thus demonstrates the
success of the barrel reactor for the coating of pol… Show more
