Glow discharge organic compound

Synthesis of Organic Compounds in Glow and Corona Discharges... 

The synthesis of organic compounds on the preparative scale has been achieved, only very recently. Typical conditions are low power levels in the glow or corona discharge and fast flow rates for the organic material. Fig. 1...

The unique capabilities of chemical vapor deposition are clearly demonstrated by the thin films belonging to this class of polymers. Yasuda et al first studied and reported the polymerization of organic compounds in glow discharge. Polymerization of organic compounds in the presence of plasma is quite different from the conventional chemically or radiatively initiated polymerization. For instance, polymerization of styrene in conventional polymerization can be done using several means of initiation such as radiation, pyrolysis induced, etc., to create the free radical species. But the propagation is... 

The major difference between the cathodic polymerization and the glow discharge polymerization is the influence (or absence) of ion bombardment during the process of material deposition. With an organic compound as monomer, ions that bombard the cathode are mainly those of hydrogen and other non-polymer-forming elements.
