Abstract
Abstract Thin composite films are formed by simultaneous plasma polymerization of chlorobenzene and the vacuum evaporation of silver. TEM examinations of the structure indicate that silver clusters are incorporated in the amorphous polymer matrix. For low silver contents, the crystalline silver clusters of the films have diameters from 5 to 20 nm. For higher silver contents, diameters between 100 and 200 nm were obtained. The size of clusters affects the optical transmission, thus resulting in different film colours. ESCA measurements showed that carbidic carbon is formed in the polymer matrix by simultaneous plasma polymerization and metal evaporation. However, direct chemical silver carbon binding does not occur. The silver also does not bind with the chlorine of the monomer.
