| Abstract Scope |
The effect of the chemistry of a surface on the morphology of the plasma polymers thin films has been demonstrated for different precursors. At the same deposition condition and position in the reactor, the formation and growth of plasma polymers is affected by the surface chemistry. The analysis of the growth of the thin films revealed that nanostructures are formed in methylated surfaces, with a distinguishable growth in the normal direction to the surface for at least one precursor. A different behavior is observed in hydroxyl-rich surfaces, in which thin films are preferentially formed. Those results highlight tailoring surface chemistry as an effective strategy to control the formation and growth of nanostructures generated by plasma polymerization. That strategy and the steps of surface preparation to achieve it are explored in this work. |
