Abstract
An audio-frequency plasma polymerization set-up with a planar plasma source was used to deposit thin heptadecafluoro-1-decene (HDFD) plasma polymer films. The morphology and chemical structure of the films after deposition were compared with the state of the film after a subsequent Ar-plasma treatment by means of in situ Fourier transform infrared reflection absorbance spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as contact angle measurements. The results revealed the correlation of wettability of the model Teflon-like films with change of surface chemistry and surface topography as a result of Ar-plasma treatment.
