Abstract
Acrylic acid polymer thin films were deposited on the surfaces of nanoparticles of ZnO using a plasma polymerization treatment. The average size of nanoparticles was on the order of 50 nm in irregular shapes. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) experiments showed that an extremely thin film of the acrylic acid layer (15 nm) was uniformly deposited on the surfaces of the nanoparticles. The HRTEM results were confirmed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The effect of plasma power on the polyacrylic thin film was studied by Fourier transform infrared experiments. The deposition mechanisms and the effects of plasma treatment parameters are discussed.
