Nanostructured Polymer Surfaces by Vapor Deposition Methods

Nanostructured Polymer Surfaces by Vapor Deposition Methods 

Vapor deposition methods can also be employed to pattern polymer surfaces. SiOx-like coatings were deposited on glass slides from a hexamethylsiloxane monomeric precursor by plasma-assisted CVD [39]. Surface energies (23.1-45.7 mj m ) were correlated with the degree of surface oxidation and hydrocarbon contents. Tapping
