SynopsisPlasma polymerizations in five silicon compounds having chemical formula of (CH3),Si-X--Si(CH,),, X = none, CH2, NH, 0, and S atoms, were investigated by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and ESCA. The chemical composition of polymers plasma-polymerized was influenced by the X groups in (CH,),Si--X--Si(CH,),.Polymers, when X was S atoms, possessed no sulfur; and X was CH2 groups polymers rich in carbon and hydrogen atoms were formed. Details in chemical composition were discussed by IR and ESCA. Such differences in chemical composition reflected on gas permeability of the plasma films.
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.
