Abstract

A hydrophobic surface layer of sub-millimeter was obtained by low temperature DC plasma treatment of a porous building material (ALC) for a few minutes in a CHF3 atmosphere. The present modified surface layer of ALC showed, (a) the repellency against water droprets for a 20-40 minutes and (b) the reduction in water vapor adsorption quite less than a nonmodified sample.
