Abstract
Acetonitrile and acrylonitrile were plasma polymerized on Polypropylene (PP) surface. Surface modifications were characterized by surface energy measurements and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Surface energy measurement showed incorporation of hydrophilic groups along with deposition of cross-linked network of plasma-polymerized product. ATR-FTIR analysis of modified films showed incorporation of conjugated imine and amine groups. Using change in the relative intensities of C—H stretch bands of polypropylene surface, site of attachment of hydrophilic group and most predominant surface chemical reaction could be inferred. Chemical nature of plasma polymerized product was studied using FTIR by KBr disc method. Adhesion test was performed on modified surface by peel test method. Surface energy and peel strength measurements were performed for the samples aged for 2 months in order to check the durability of surface modification.
