Substrate influence on the initial growth phase of plasma-deposited polymer films.
In this communication we demonstrate that in the initial stages of deposition of ultrathin plasma polymer films, both the growth rate and the chemical composition of the films are affected by the nature of the substrate which is an important question surprisingly neglected until now.
