Notes:
Plasma polymerization of some cyano-containing organic compounds was carried out at 13.56 MHz from the gas phase. The resulting polymer films were smooth and pinhole free. The electrical conductivities of the polymer films varied from 10-12 to 10-7 S cm-1 depending upon which cyano-containing monomer was used. The Al/polymer film/ITO (indium-tin oxide) sandwich cells made from the films demonstrated a photovoltaic effect, and some of them showed good rectifying behavior. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) were utilized to characterize the structure of the product polymers. The effects of the original structure in the starting monomers on the structure of the resulting polymers are investigated. The influence of incident light intensity on the photovoltaic characteristics was also investigated.
