Abstract

Plasma-polymerized deposition of an acetylene–hydrogen–silane mixture (C2H2–H2–SiH4) to obtain thin film with good wear behavior on a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) surface was present in this work. It was found that the bond between thin film and HDPE substrate was excellent and H2 gas in system led the deposited thin film to better adhesive properties, but slower thin film deposition rate. Surface wear-resistant properties of modified HDPE were improved with the input of SiH4. Infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra suggested that there be large quantities of >CO, OH, CSi, and SiO groups in thin film and that the ratio of C to Si was increased due to the addition of SiH4 and H2, which inferred that the thin film structure and components lie between organic and inorganic materials. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
