What is Surface Modification of Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) Films by Plasma Polymerization of Glycidyl Methacrylate for Adhesion Enhancement with Evaporated Copper about?

Surface modi®cation of poly(tetra ̄uoroethylene) (PTFE) ®lm by H 2 plasma treatment, and by plasma polymerization and deposition of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in the absence and presence of H 2 plasma pre-activation of the PTFE substrates, was carried out to enhance the adhesion of the polymer with evaporated copper. The H 2 plasma treatment resulted in effective de ̄uorination and hydrogenation of the PTFE surface, and enhanced the adhesion of evaporate Cu to the PTFE surface (the Cu/PTFE assembly) to various extents. For plasma polymerization carried out at a low RF power, a high epoxide concentration was preserved in the plasma-polymerized GMA (pp-GMA) layer on the PTFE surface (the pp-GMA-PTFE surface). However, high adhesion strength for the Cu/pp-GMA-PTFE assembly was obtained only in the presence of H 2 plasma pre-activation of the PTFE substrates prior to the plasma polymerization and deposition of GMA. In the absence of H 2 plasma pre-activation, the deposited pp-GMA layer on the PTFE surface could be readily removed by acetone extraction. The adhesion enhancement of the Cu/pp-GMA-PTFE assembly in the presence of H 2 plasma pre-activation of the PTFE substrate was attribu
