Monotype functional groups

Tailoring of Polymer Surfaces with Monotype Functional Groups of Variable Density Using Chemical and Plasma Chemical Processes... 

A more complicated but very variable process (iii) was the pulsed plasma-initiated polymerization or copolymerization. Here, the desired monotype functional groups are provided by the monomer, which are polymerized in the pulsed plasma. The art in producing such 50 nm thick monotype functionalized polymer coatings lays in carrying out the plasma process under as mild conditions as possible to avoid fragmentation of monomers and to preserve and remain the functional groups of the respective monomers. 

It should be remarked that the plasma surface functionalization by oxygen plasma with and without reduction to monotype OH functional groups yields a lower peel strength compared to the use of the monotype functional groups bearing adhesion-promoting plasmapolymer layers (cf. Fig. 11).
