    Notes: Diffusion of an array of molecules in micrometer-thick films of plasma-polymerized tetrafluoroethylene has been measured using an optical interferometric technique. The diffusivity is approximately independent of molecular size up to a molar volume of about 100 cm3 and drops rapidly for larger molecules. For much larger molecules no penetration of the films is observed. These results suggest that plasma-polymerized tetrafluoroethylene films are heavily cross linked and that this limits the size of the molecules that can penetrate the polymer. The temperature dependence and the molecular size dependence of the diffusivities are discussed in the context of free-volume theory.

    Notes: Several physical properties of thin plasma-polymerized films have been measured using a new fiber-optic-based technique. Films of plasma-polymerized tetrafluoroethylene (PPTFE) deposited on the end of an optical fiber form an optical cavity, the reflectivity of which is very sensitive to the film thickness. The fiber is used as an in situ monitor of the deposition rate in the plasma and, after removal from the plasma, the mechanical properties of the film can be measured. With this measurement technique the thermal expansion of the film normal to its surface as well as the swelling of the film when exposed to an array of organic solvents have been determined. A significantly smaller thermal-expansion coefficient and larger degree of swelling are observed relative to bulk PTFE. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show that the fluorocarbon chains are highly branched and have a fluorine-to-carbon ratio of 1.45. These results suggest that the plasma-polymerized films are not crystalline and are heavily cross linked.

    Notes: Swelling of micrometer thick-films of plasma-polymerized tetrafluoroethylene has been measured for a range of solvents using an optical-interferometric technique. For low gas-phase concentrations of the solvent, the swelling is found to correlate with the ionization potential of the solvent. Photo-thermal deflection spectroscopy of the films shows optical absorption in the infrared, which changes with exposure to different solvents. Both of these results suggest weak electron transfer from the solvent to the polymer as the dominant interaction mechanism.
