Experimental study demonstrates enhanced solvent resistance and partial fluorination in synthetic polymers exposed to sulfur hexafluoride discharge, indicating altered surface and optical properties.
Fluorination of low‐density polyethylene, polyacetylene, and poly(vinyl alcohol) was carried out using SF 6 gas under electric discharge. The polymers were partially fluorinated and the extent of fluorination was more in the case of poly (vinyl alcohol) than the other two polymers. The fluorinated polymers were characterized by elemental analysis (Fluorine), IR, and x‐ray diffraction. Optical transparency of the films was also measured. The fluorinated polymers show better solvent resistance and decreased transparency than the virgin polymer.
