✦ Synopsis

The deposition of polymer on the electrodes of a radiofrequency glow discharge through styrene vapour has been investigated. The polymer films have been shown to contain trapped radicals and the rate of deposition of polymer has been examined as a function of pressure and discharge power. The results have been interpreted quantitatively on the basis of a mechanism involving the competitive reactions of radicals formed on the electrodes by electron bombardment. The propagation step is considered to involve the reaction of the radicals with adsorbed monomer and with monomer diffusing to the electrodes from the gas phase.

An electrical glow discharge has been used to initiate the bulk polymerization of liquid styrene monomer. Very efficient stirring was found to be an important requirement for high yields of polymer. The kinetics of the system have been investigated using solutions of styrene in chlorinated hydrocarb
