Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic Properties and Characterization of PIM-1 Films Treated by Elemental Fluorine in Liquid Perfluorodecalin
2022
Overview
A direct fluorination technique was applied for the surface treatment of PIM-1 films in a liquid phase (perfluorodecalin). The fluorinated samples were analyzed by various instrumental techniques. ATR-IR spectroscopy showed that the fluorination predominantly takes place in methylene- and methyl-groups. Cyano-groups, aromatic hydrogens and the aromatic structure of the PIM-1 repeat unit were shown to be relatively stable at the fluorination conditions. XPS confirmed that the concentration of fluorine, as well as oxygen, in the near surface layer (~1 nm) increases with fluorination time. C1s and O1s surface spectra of the fluorinated PIM-1 samples indicated an appearance of newly-formed C-F and C-O functional groups. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy of the fluorinated PIM-1 samples showed an increase of the fluorine concentration at the surface (~0.1–1 μm) with the treatment duration. Analysis of the slices of the PIM-1 films demonstrated a decline of the fluorine content within several microns of the film depth. The decline increased with the fluorination time. A model of fluorine concentration dependence on the film depth and treatment duration was suggested. A change in the specific free surface energy as a result of PIM-1 fluorination was revealed. The fluorination time was shown to affect the surface energy (γSV), providing its shift from a low value (25 mJ∙m−2), corresponding to tetrafluoroethylene, up to a relatively high value, corresponding to a hydrophilic surface.
