Deposition and XPS and FTIR Analysis of Plasma Polymer Coatings Containing Phosphorus

Kim S. Siow, Leanne Britcher, Sunil Kumar, Hans J. Griesser

Plasma Processes and Polymers > 11 > 2 > 133 - 141

Phosphate groups are part of biological molecules involved in bio‐interfacial phenomena but monomers containing these groups are not volatile enough to be plasma polymerized (pp). Hence monomers with lower oxidation states of P are needed which then does not enable prediction of the oxidation state(s) of P in the pps, nor of possible aging effects. XPS and FTIR analyses of pps from triisopropyl phosphite...
