✦ Synopsis
Previous work on the deposition of polymer on the electrodes of a radiofrequency glow discharge through styrene vapour has been extended to the examination of three other monomers. The mechanism proposed for styrene, involving the competitive reactions of radicals formed on the electrodes by electron bombardment, is applicable to the other monomers but it now appears that the radical recombination reaction can be neglected. It is not yet clear whether the propagation step involves the reaction of radicals with adsorbed monomer or with monomer diffusing to the electrode from the gas phase.
