Abstract
Atmospheric pressure plasma co-polymerization of ethylene glycol and styrene was applied to produce poly (ethylene glycol-co-styrene) using a dielectric barrier discharge. The chemical structure of polymerized films was studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy which confirms that we obtained copolymerized films with hydroxyl groups incorporated. Chemical composition of films was studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and oxygen containing groups (C-O and C=O) were identified. Topography of polymer films was revealed using Atomic Force Microscopy technique and the film root mean square roughness (Rrms) was found to be 1.6 nm. Surface wettability was analyzed using water contact angle technique.
