Plasma polymerization of maleic anhydride has been studied using
continuous-wave and
pulsed glow discharges. The deposited plasma polymer layers have
been characterized by
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission infrared
spectroscopy. Anhydride
functionality incorporation into the growing films is found to be
greatest during pulsed plasma
polymerization with low duty cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
