Production and preliminary characterization of DC plasma polymerized allylamine film (PPAA) by NRA, ERD and XPS

Incorporation of amine moieties onto ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) surface via plasma and UV polymerization of allylamine

“…This is due to higher plasma density and thus increased deposition efficiency at higher power value. Similar thickness vs plasma power behavior has been observed by Myung and Choi [26] and Lucas et al [29].…”

Incorporation of Primary Amines via Plasma Technology on Biomaterials

“…In the case of amine plasma treatments, to selectively probe -NH 2 groups, several reactants such as 4-trifluoromethyl-benzaldehyde (TFBA) [18,36,39,[55][56][57][58][59][60], pentafluoro-benzaldehyde (PFBA) [61,62], and para-chlorobenzaldehyde [63] have been used.…”

“…Effect on deposition rate / film thickness: Lucas et al [61] studied the power variation (between 3 and 100 W) effect on the deposition rate of allylamine plasma polymers. They found that deposition rate increases with increasing power.…”

“…In the study conducted by Lucas et al [61], the use of XPS coupled to derivatization reactions for allylamine plasma polymerization showed that %NH 2 decreases with the increase of power. This was also observed by Lejeune et al and Müller et al [57,69].…”

Probing the Interfacial Structure of Bilayer Plasma Polymer Films via Neutron Reflectometry

“…We note that the oxygen content in these films is slightly higher than compared to such films previously reported in the literature. [17,28,41] For the DG PP films, the elemental analysis from XPS reveals films that consist predominantly of carbon and oxygen. The O/C for the 20 W deposited DG PP films are similar to our previous studies, [9,31,42] however the O/C was greater by 1.7% for the 40 W DG PP compared to our previous results.…”
