Abstract

Plasma polymer films with encapsulated metal particles were prepared by simultaneous plasma polymerization and metal evaporation. Laser annealing (Nd-YAG, 1064 nm) causes dramatic changes in the particle size and shape without material ablation, but with changes in the surface topography. This results in changes in the optical plasma resonance absorption, as demonstrated by UV-visible-near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The invariable transmission in the UV region of the plasma polymer matrix after laser annealing confirms that there is no material ablation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated particle size changes and modifications of the plasma polymer surface due to laser annealing.
