Abstract

Hydrophobic modification on surface of silicone rubber by CF4 radio frequency inductively coupled plasma is discussed. Static contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used in characterizing the hydrophobic property and chemical composition of the modified silicone rubber. The results show that the improvement of surface hydrophobic property on modified silicone rubber is put down to the introduction of fluorocarbon functional groups (C-CFn, n=1, 2,3) and fluosilicic structures (Si-F and Si-F2) during the treatment.
