Perspectives in preparation of plasma polymers on a basis of organosilicones

lecture

English

We would like to introduce plasma polymerization as a technique capable to prepare high quality thin films with high reproducibility. This level of technology could enable us to deal with more complicated film systems - multilayers and gradient films. In general, multilayer films can be prepared using the fabrication "bottom-up". Thus, a nanostructured film can be prepared as layer-by-layer, where the film thickness of a single layer could be only several tens of nanometers and single layers have to be bonded each other using strong chemical bonds. We could construct a functionally gradient nanostructured film "without" interfaces in one deposition if the plasma technology would be able to prepare film of continuously varying properties. Such a nanotechnology could be worth for formation of the controlled interphase in multicomponent materials, transparent nanostructured films of the varying refractive index - valuable as materials for optoelectronic applications, and functionally doped and hybrid layered structures for electronic devices.
