Dimethylketene: Plasma-generated gas-phase precursor of photoluminescence chromophores in plasma polymerized films of methyl methacrylate and tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione
Tóm tắt
Gas-phase chemistry of tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione (TMCB) and formaldehyde plasmas have been studied within situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Our previous work indicated that methyl methacrylate (MMA) dissociates to intermediate species of dimethylketene (DMK) and formaldehyde in MMA plasmas. This investigation of DMK dimer (TMCB) and formaldehyde plasmas is a continuation of our effort to understand the plasma polymerization chemistry of MMA. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of DMK in TMCB plasmas and a polymeric thin film was deposited. Formaldehyde plasmas did not deposit any film for our experimental condition. Furthermore, plasma polymerized TMCB (PPTMCB) films exhibit UV photoluminescence similar to that of PPMMA films. Therefore, DMK is proposed to be the gas-phase precursor of photoluminescence chromophores in both PPMMA and PPTMCB films.
