摘要 |
A method of coating a surface with a polymer layer, which comprises exposing a surface to a plasma comprising one or more organic monomeric compounds, at least one of which comprises two carbon-carbon double bonds, so as to form a layer of cross-linked polymer on the surface being coated, wherein an organic monomeric compound includes a compound of formula (I) where: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are hydrogen, alkyl, halo, alkyl, haloalkyl or aryl optionally substituted by halo; and Z is a bridging group of sub-formula (II), where: n is 1 to 10, suitably from 1 to 3, and R7 and R8 are hydrogen, alkyl or haloalkyl.. The method of coating a surface with a polymer layer as described herein is suitable for applying oil and/or water repellent coatings onto substrates such as fabrics.
