Original Abstract

Plasma-polymerized films of vinyltriethoxysilane were surface characterized using the sessile drop technique. The surface free energy and its components were evaluated using the Owens-Wendt-Kaelble geometric mean method, Wu harmonic mean method, and van Oss, Chaudhury, and Good acid-base theory. An influence of deposition conditions on the surface free energy was demonstrated in the study. An improved wettability of films was related to the diminished concentration of apolar methyl groups in plasma polymer. An increased concentration of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups resulted in very small improvement of the polar component.
