Abstract

Most polymeric materials surface exhibit a chemically inert nature that hinders wider applications in printing, dyeing, as well as biological applications. The change of their surface composition, microstructure and molecular chains directly impact their surface properties and applications. In this work, several transition metals were plasma implanted via a cathodic arc source into fluorine-based polymers to improve the wetting properties and surface energy. Our results show that our process led to the breakage of high molecular weight carbon-fluorine chains and loss of fluorine from the surface. In addition, metallic carbides and fluorides were observed to form on the modified surface. Since the bonding states and structures of carbides and fluorides are totally different from those of high molecular weight carbon-fluorine chains, the enhancement of the surface polar and disperse interaction results in the increase of the surface wettability and energy.
