The Effect of the Fluorine Concentration in a Plasma-Forming Gas Mixture on the Chemical Composition, Surface Charge, and Relief Parameters of Fluorocarbon Coatings on Pet

Abstract

In this work, the main factors influencing the appearance of the antiadhesive properties on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a fluorocarbon film were considered. The chemical composition, surface charge, and surface relief of antimicrobial fluorocarbon films deposited on PET were studied. The fluorocarbon films were formed by ion-plasma technology at reduced pressure using a two-component gas mixture consisting of tetrafluoromethane and cyclohexane.
