Plasma copolymerization as a route to the fabrication of new surfaces with controlled amounts of specific chemical functionality

The plasma copolymerization of allyl amine with 1,7-octadiene and of acrylic acid with hexane has been investigated. Plasma copolymerization is shown to be a promising route to the fabrication of new surfaces with controlled concentrations of specific surface functionalities; in this case, amine and carboxylic acid.
