“…This is further supported by the lack of CH absorptions registered in FT‐IR spectra, later on discussed. As it can be also observed in Figure , the increment of the C 3 F 6 flow rate reflects in a more fluorinated matrix according to the expected higher concentration of fluorocarbon radicals …”

In this paper, we present a one step plasma based approach for the deposition of Pt‐fluorocarbon nanocomposite films as electrocatalysts in hydrogen‐based micro fuel cells. Results show that the chemical and morphological structure of the film can be tuned by controlling the power delivered to the plasma, and the gas feed composition. Platinum is included in the film in metallic form and its content can be continuously varied from a few atomic percent to 86%. The metal is embedded in the film as crystalline nanoclusters of size below 10 nm, uniformly distributed across the sample. Film catalytic activity, in terms of hydrogen oxidation reaction, has been tested by cyclovoltammetry and it increases with the Pt loading, with a maximum specific electrochemical surface area of 94 cm2 · mg−1, for film deposited on flat glassy carbon.

“…In particular, plasma technology can be exploited for the deposition of metal–polymer nanocomposite catalytic layer. Kay and Dilks developed a simultaneous metal sputtering and plasma polymerization process which enables the embedding of sputtered metals or metal alloys in different plasma polymer matrix …”

“…Plasma polymer films prepared by radio frequency (RF) sputtering of polymeric targets are nowadays well‐established materials whose origins date back to the 1970s 1. Composite films comprising a metal and a plasma polymer have likewise been investigated for several decades 2–4. Later the interest moved on to more complex composites such as the SiO x /fluorocarbon plasma polymer with the idea to apply them as protective coatings 5, 6.…”

This study describes the preparation and the properties of TiOx/hydrocarbon plasma polymer composite films. Films are prepared by simultaneous sputtering in argon from two balanced magnetrons equipped with TiO2 and PP targets. The resulting films exhibit a wide range of properties in dependence on the preparation conditions – primarily on the ratio of the deposition rates r(TiOx)/r(PP) and thus the power delivered to the magnetrons. The deposition process is monitored by optical emission spectroscopy. The composition and morphology of the composite films have been analyzed by means of RBS/ERDA, FTIR, AFM, and TEM. Optical properties of the films are studied in the UV and visible range of the spectrum. Finally, an attempt has been made to express the amount of inorganic phase present in the organic matrix in terms of a filling factor.

Vulcanization and reinforcement are two most important approaches to improve rubber properties. Effect of carbon black (CB) load level on curing process and properties of Natural rubber (NR) compounds and vulcanizates and interaction between vulcanization and reinforcement were characterized by Rubber Processing Analyzer (RPA2000). The incorporation of CB shortened the scorch delay time and prolonged curing time. Only after CB loading level reached about 20 phr, could effective CB network be formed that contributed to the formation of ''Payne effect.'' Dynamic elastic shear modulus G 0 of filled NR compounds had a stronger dependence on strain than that of unfilled NR. There was a synergism between vulcanization and reinforcement on the improvement of shear modulus of NR compounds and vulcanizates. The elastic recovery of vulcanizates restricted the break of CB network through the rubber bridges formed between CB particles and helped the reformation of broken CB network. All these action amplified the reinforcement of CB.
