Molecular architecture of nanocomposite polytetrafluoroethylene and metal based coatings formed from active gas phase

The peculiarities of the influence on morphology and molecular orientation of polytetrafluoroethylene coatings formed from active gas phase and filled with nanosized metal particles of different nature are observed. Metal doping was established to result in the formation of disperse structures and influence on the character of molecules orientation of polymer matrix. Moreover, the boundary coating-substrate interlayer characterized by macro molecules orientation parallel to the substrate surface has significantly small thickness in comparison with single-component coating. Regularities of the molecular structure transformation in the process of composite layers growth are defined.
