Regularities of Fluoropolymer Coating Growth on Pretreated Surfaces from Active Gas Phase
Keyword(s):
The kinetic and morphological peculiarities of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating growth onset from the active gas phase on differently pretreated substrates are considered. The substrate surface energy was found to exert an effect on distribution of polymer micro-and nanoparticles both at the initial stage so during coating growth. The substrate surface activation was proved to result in the increasing growth rate and formation of a continuous coating with a thinner apparent thickness. The physicomathematical model of presented regularities was elaborated.
