Plasma polymerisation reactors

Encapsulated plasma devices are necessary for the plasma polymerisation processes. A continuous process, however, is stUl possible if there is a simple gas-lock at the air inlet of the reactor chamber. The production of water- and oil-repeUent layers on textiles by plasma polymerisation using fluorocarbon gases during the continuous process is already possible (Stegmaier et al. 2004). The stmctures produced by chemically deposited... 

Many authors [39-42] have provided detailed studies of experimental configurations. The most widely used reactor configurations for plasma polymerisation can be divided into the following types (see Figure 9.1) ... 

Internal electrode reactors have several names, e.g., flat bed, parallel plate, planar, diode, etc. However, this system is rarely used to develop the plasma polymerisation because it breaks the insulation between the electrodes due to polymerisation on the cathode by the dc glow discharge.
