The competitive ablation and polymerization (CAP) principle and the plasma sensitivity of elements in plasma polymerization and treatment

Synthesis and optimization of proton exchange membranes by a pulsed plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique

“…5. This might be attributed to the etching effect of the oxygen-containing monomers [35,36], i.e. sulfonic acid in the present work.…”

Growth Mechanism of Oxygen-Containing Functional Plasma Polymers

“…According to the competitive ablation and polymerization (CAP) principle, plasma polymerization comprises the following steps: (1) gas feed in (monomer and carrier/ reactive gases), (2) gas phase processes (formation of reactive species), (3) surface processes (deposition and/or ablation), and (4) escape from the system (effluent gases). [8] While gas phase processes initiated by electron impact excitations or collisional energy transfer are considered to be of chemical nature (i.e. the chemical reaction pathway), both plasma chemical and physical effects may play a role in surface processes.…”

Morphologic and Chemical Properties of PMMA/ATH Layers with Enhanced Abrasion Resistance Realised by Cold Plasma Spraying at Atmospheric Pressure

“…Moreover, the nitrogen content of the deposited coatings (sample C w ) exceeded even those of pure PF powder. This may be explained by the incorporation of nitrogen from the ionised atmosphere during the deposition process [28]. A thorough characterisation of this specific plasma setup is still subject to current and future projects, but preliminary measurements showed a predomination of NO and OH species in the plasma, thus supporting the hypothesis of nitrogen incorporation.…”
