Abstract
Organosilicon plasma polymer layers were deposited by surface dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure, in an attempt to enhance the corrosion protection of a reflective aluminium layer applied on a polyester fabric. A number of tests were carried out to characterize the improvement of corrosion resistance as a function of plasma treatment time, type of carrier gas, admixture of oxygen, amount of hexamethyldisiloxane precursor supplied to plasma and post-plasma-treatment heating.
The protective films were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
