Polymers plasma susceptibility

The (TMS 02) plasma-modified polymers were made considerably more hydrophilic with average cos 0D,a,i= 0.654 (Op,a,i =49.2 11.7) but remain in the domain of amphoteric surface, under the conditions of plasma polymerization used. (TMS + O2) plasma-deposited films were slightly more dependent on the nature of the conventional polymer substrates. This is probably due to the fact that substrate polymers have different oxygen plasma susceptibilities.
