Abstract

Plasma polymerization is a technique for obtaining thin polymer films on a substrate surface from organic monomers by means of plasma discharge. In glow discharge polymerization, the monomer structure is not retained, yet the original monomer molecules serve as a source of elements for the formation of larger molecules. Here we present a new model of variable geometry Direct Current (DC) plasma polymerization discharge reactor, demonstrating some clear advantages over the already existing devices. The way our reactor is built allows for dynamically changing all of the most important discharge parameters for the polymer deposition. By carefully adjusting these main quantities, one can obtain countless duromer thin film structural morphologies exhibiting interesting chemical and physical features..
