Surface Modification of Plasma-Treated Polyamide-6 with Fluorinated Alcohols and Azobenzene Compounds using Chlorinated Phosphazenes as Coupling Agents

A three-step procedure for surface functionalization of polyamide-6 plates is presented. The substrate was first treated with cold, low pressure Ar plasma to generate surface OH groups, which were successively reacted with chlorophosphazenes to ensure grafting of these molecules. Substitution of the...

Summary:A three-step procedure for surface functionalization of polyamide-6 plates is presented. The substrate was first treated with cold, low pressure Ar plasma to generate surface OH groups, which were successively reacted with chlorophosphazenes to ensure grafting of these molecules. Substitution of the residual chlorines of the phosphazenes with fluorinated alcohols and 4-hydroxyazobenzene yielded the final surface modification. Characterization was performed by contact angle, XPS and UV-Vis techniques.
