✦ Synopsis
Plasma polymer films prepared from perfluoro-2-butyltetrahydrofuran (PFBTHF) and perfluorobenzene (PFB) were investigated by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and ESCA. The gas separation properties were also investigated to seek plasma polymer films with good permselectivity. Plasma polymer films from PFBTHF and PFB were composed of polymer chains with fluorinated moieties such as C-CF,, CF, CF-CF,, CF, , and CF, groups. Changes in the af current as an operating condition for plasma polymerization showed less influence on the distribution of the fluorinated moieties but more influence on the permselectivity of the plasma polymer films formed. The permselectivity was improved by plasma polymerization in the PFBTHF/CH, or PFB/CF, mixture systems. The Po2/PN, ratio for the plasma polymer films prepared from PFBTHF/CH, and PFB/CF, mixtures increased from 3.1 at 0 mol 8 CH, to 4.0 at 50 mol % CH, addition, and from 4.1 at 0 mol % CF, to 5.0 at 25 mol 8 CF, addition, respectively. The permselectivity of the plasma polymer films may be related to the crosslinkage and aggregation of polymer chains rather than the elemental composition.
