Thin fluorocarbon polymer films are prepared on PE-foils in low-pressure electron cyclotron resonance plasmas using ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) and trifluoromethane (CHF 3 ) as monomers. The thin fluorinated hydrocarbon layers strongly reduces the permeability of polyethylene to alkanes. For example, the pe

Abstract
The barrier properties of thin fluorocarbon films toward toluene are studied. Mixtures of trifluoromethane and ethylene are used as monomers in an electron cyclotron resonance plasma discharge. The measured permeation fluxes of toluene through polyethylene show that thin fluorocarbon layers strongly reduce the permeation, e. g. by a factor of about 3000 when an appropriate tapered layer is deposited on polyethylene foils. Different tapering of the barrier layers was investigated with respect to low permeation and good adhesion of the films. The amount of permeated toluene through the untreated and treated polyethylene foils are measured as a function of time using a gas chromatograph with a flame ionization detector.
