Abstract

In order to achieve hydrophobic properties and good wear resistance of PET materials, diamond-like carbon films were deposited on PET substrates by linear ion beam (LIS) technology with varying ion beam current. The microstructure, morphology and wettability were analyzed, and the relationship between wetting behavior and surface morphology, microstructure, surface energy was investigated. The results show that the deposited diamond-like carbon film is typical amorphous carbon, its sp²/sp³ increased from 0.774 to 1.622 with increase of LIS current, which indicated the increased graphitization. Meanwhile, the water contact angle of PET increased from 63.51° to 103.7°. Further analysis found that the hydrophobicity can be attributed to the enhanced graphitization and formation of nano-micro structure, which could result in a decrease of surface energy. In addition, the transmissivity in visible light range of PET could reach to over 88.5%, which showed an enhanced effect within the range of 500~760 nm. Therefore, controlling proper surface morphology and low surface energy by plasma modification technology can effectively improve the hydrophobic properties of flexible polymer materials, while the transparency of PET material was maintained.

Key words: organic polymer materials hydrophobicity diamond-like carbon surface morphology surface energy
