Abstract

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films were coated with plasma-polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (PPHMDS) films in a dc glow discharge system. The correlation between the adhesion of the PPHMDS films to the PTFE films and the partial discharge resistance of the composite films was investigated. The voltage endurance of the composite films in the presence of partial discharges increased with the adhesion of the PPHMDS films. From an observation of the deteriorated surface scars, it was shown that the deterioration is affected by the formation of cracks in the PPHMDS film.
