Fluorination of poly(dimethylsiloxane) surfaces by low pressure CF4 plasma – physicochemical and antifouling properties

Fluorinated surface groups were introduced into poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coatings by plasma treatment using a low pressure radio frequency discharge operated with tetrafluoromethane. Substrates were placed in a remote position downstream the discharge. Discharge power and treatment time were tu...
