PVDF Films with Superhydrophobic Surface Fabricated by Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lotus effect is well-known to be governed by chemical properties and nanotextures of the surfaces. In this paper, a method with two-steps treatment technology was applied to develop the superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fruoride(PVDF) membrane with the property of anti-contamination and self-cleaning. First, the PVDF membrane was treated by oxygen plasma so as to get the reactive groups. Second, this film was deposited by perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate precursor/Ar gas via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The modified film surface exhibited ultra water-repellent ability, showing that the water contact angles was larger than 150 °and the dynamic contact angles was usually lower than 5°.
