Chemical structure and mechanical properties of glow discharge polymer films and deuterated glow discharge polymer films

Abstract

Taking advantage of low pressure plasma chemical vapor deposition technology, the hydrocarbon glow discharge polymer (GDP) and deuterated glow discharge polymer (D-GDP) films were fabricated by glow discharge polymerization technology. The deposition rates, the chemical structures and mechanical properties of films were studied by FTIR spectra, surface profiler and nano-indentation. The results show that the deposition rate of GDP/D-GDP almost linearly increases with the increase of gas flow, the deposition rate of GDP films is higher than that of D-GDP films. The cross-link degree of D-GDP films is lower than that in GDP films. The D-GDP films might be more favorable for IR heating on the DT ice of ICF target. The mechanical property of GDP is better than that of D-GDP.
