Controlling the Plasma-Polymerization Process of N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone

N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone was plasma‐polymerized on glass substrates using a pulsed AC plasma. Pulsed AC plasma produces a chemical surface structure different from that produced by conventional RF plasma; this is ascribed to the different power regimes used. A high degree of control over the structure...

Description
Summary:N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone was plasma‐polymerized on glass substrates using a pulsed AC plasma. Pulsed AC plasma produces a chemical surface structure different from that produced by conventional RF plasma; this is ascribed to the different power regimes used. A high degree of control over the structure of the chemical surface was obtained using pulsed AC plasma, as shown by ToF‐SIMS. It is demonstrated how the experimental conditions to some extent control the chemical structure of the plasma‐polymerized film, e.g., film thickness, density of post‐plasma‐polymerized oligomeric chains, and the density of intact pyrrolidone rings. Electrode configuration and gas flow in the two‐phase AC plasma chamber.
