Plasma deposited styrene/allyl alcohol and ethylene/allyl alcohol copolymer films were prepared and characterized using XPS, NEXAFS and ToF-SIMS. The relative partial flow rates of the co-monomers are used as deposition process parameters to vary and all other process parameters were constrained to conditions optimized for retention of functional groups. By doing this it is possible to control certain chemical properties of the copolymer films such as unsaturation, oxygen and hydroxyl group relative surface contents. The aging behavior of the plasma copolymer films on air was studied, too. Non-linear variations of relative oxygen contents, contents of C—OR species and contents of carbonyl species are obtained vs. variation of feed gas composition for both monomer combinations. The chemical character of the plasma copolymer films varies between the limits given by the respective plasma homopolymers. The observed non-linear correlations are discussed in terms of approaches developed for classic radical copolymerization. The aging behavior of the different plasma copolymers films depends on the feed gas composition. Principally these aging phenomena known from plasma polymer aging studies of that respective monomer which dominates the character of the plasma copolymer are observed.
Plasma deposited allylamine films were studied by in situ ToF-SSIMS, XPS and NEXAFS Spectroscopy before exposure to ambient air. The influence of external plasma parameters such as duty cycle, plasma power, and monomer flow rate on (i) unsaturation, (ii) branching and cross-linking, (iii) nitrogen surface concentration and (iv) retention of amino groups was investigated. Harder plasma conditions, which can be obtained when high duty cycles, high plasma power, and low monomer flow rates are employed, increase the unsaturated, branched and cross-linked character of the plasma deposited films, while the surface concentration of N as well as the retention of the monomer's amino group decrease. As proven by NEXAFS findings and cross-checked by ToF-SSIMS results, the allylamine monomer's primary amino groups are partially transformed into other nitrogen functionalities during its plasma polymerization. Amongst them imines and nitriles are the conversion products with the highest probabilities of formation. Another conversion channel is the formation of nitrogen species not participating in the film growth. This is the reason for an increased N loss in plasma deposited allylamine films as observed independently by XPS and ToF-SSIMS when the plasma parameters are changed from mild to hard.
