Abstract
Plasma technology has attracted a great deal of attention in the domain of polymer chemistry, especially the appealing features of plasma treated/synthesized polymers have opened new avenues for the development of a novel class of materials having enhanced applications in surface engineering. One can control the properties, ageing, deposition rate, and stability behaviors of the plasma-modified polymers by carefully tuning the plasma parameters. Different mechanisms underlying plasma polymerization can be well understood using various spectroscopic techniques. This chapter encompasses the facets of spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses of plasma-activated polymeric materials. Bearing on plasma modified polymers, spectroscopic analysis is a high throughput characterization technique among other analytical methods due to its unequaled sensitivity, detection limits, speed, and diversity of applications. Among this, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ToF-SIMS are the principal tools for measuring the species which impact surfaces in the process of plasma polymerization.
