Notes:
Glow discharge polymerizations in systems of trimethoxymethylsilane, trimethoxyvinylsilane, tetramethylsilane, and trimethylvinylsilane were compared by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and ESCA to reveal effects of methoxyl, methyl, and vinyl substituents. The substituent effects appeared in the chemical composition of the polymers formed especially at low W/FM values. Methoxy groups depressed the C/Si and H/Si ratios of the polymers rather than the methyl groups, whereas vinyl groups increased the C/Si and H/Si ratios. On IR spectra the polymers formed from silanes that contained methoxy groups showed fewer absorptions due to Si—H groups and strong absorptions due to Si—OH groups. The polymers from those that contained no methoxy groups showed absorptions of Si—H groups and no absorptions of Si—OH groups. These differences in the environment of Si atoms of polymeric chains also appeared in the Si2p core level spectra, thus indicating the different fragmentation patterns of the starting materials in glow discharge.
