Definitions
- the present invention relates to the coating of surfaces, in particular to the production of oil- and water- repellent surfaces, as well as to coated articles obtained thereby.
- Oil- and water- repellent treatments for a wide variety of surfaces are in widespread use. For example, it may be desirable to impart such properties to solid surfaces, such as metal, glass, ceramics, paper, polymers etc. in order to improve preservation properties, or to prevent or inhibit soiling.
- a particular substrate which requires such coatings are fabrics, in particular for outdoor clothing applications, sportswear, leisurewear and in military applications. Their treatments generally require the incorporation of a fluoropoly er into or more particularly, fixed onto the surface of the clothing fabric.
- the degree of oil and water repellency is a function of the number and length of fluorocarbon groups or moieties that can be fitted into the available space. The greater the concentration of such moieties, the greater the repellency of the finish.
- Oil- and water- repellent textile treatments are generally based on fluoropolymers that are applied to fabric in the form of an aqueous emulsion.
- the fabric remains breathable and permeable to air since the treatment simply coats the fibres with a very thin, liquid-repellent film.
- cross -linking resins that bind the fluoropolymer treatment to fibres. Whilst good levels of durability towards laundering and dry-cleaning can be achieved in this way, the cross-linking resins can seriously damage cellulosic fibres and reduce the mechanical strength of the material .
- Plasma deposition techniques have been quite widely used for the deposition of polymeric coatings onto a range of surfaces. This technique is recognised as being a clean, dry technique that generates little waste compared to conventional wet chemical methods. Using this method, plasmas are generated from small organic molecules, which are subjected to an ionising electrical field under low pressure conditions . When this is done in the presence of a substrate, the ions, radicals and excited molecules of the compound in the plasma polymerise in the gas phase and react with a growing polymer film on the substrate. Conventional polymer synthesis tends to produce structures containing repeat units which bear a strong resemblance to the monomer species, whereas a polymer network generated using a plasma can be extremely complex.
- Japanese application no. 816773 describes the plasma polymerisation of compounds including fluorosubstituted acrylates . In that process, a mixture of the fluorosubstituted acrylate compounds and an inert gas are subjected to a glow discharge.
- the applicants have found an improved method of producing polymer and particular halopolymer coatings which are water and/or oil repellent on surfaces.
- a method of coating a surface with a polymer layer comprises exposing said surface to a plasma comprising an optionally substituted alkyne so as to form an oil or water repellent coating on said substrate.
- the alkyne compounds used in the method of the invention comprise chains of carbon atoms, including one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds.
- the chains may be optionally interposed with a heteroatom and may carry substituents including rings and other functional groups.
- Suitable chains which may be straight or branched, have from 2 to 50 carbon atoms, more suitably from 6 to 18 carbon atoms. They may be present either in the monomer used as a starting material, or may be created in the monomer on application of the plasma, for example by the ring opening of an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group.
- heteroatom includes oxygen, sulphur, silicon or nitrogen atoms. Where a chain of carbon atoms is interposed by a nitrogen atom, it will be substituted so as to form a secondary or tertiary amine .
- silicons will be substituted appropriately, for example with two alkoxy groups.
- halo or halogen which refer to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
- halo groups are fluoro.
- aryl refers to aromatic cyclic groups such as phenyl or napthyl , in particular phenyl.
- alkyl refers to straight or branched chains of carbon atoms, suitably of up to 50 carbon atoms in length. Derivatives of alkyl groups, such as would be understood by “alkoxy” include such groups.
- heterocyclyl includes aromatic and non aromatic rings or ring systems, suitably containing up to 12 atoms, up to three of which may be heteroatoms .
- Suitable optional substituents for the alkynes used in the process of the invention include halo, cyano, nitro, oxo, epoxide, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aralkyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, C(0) n R ⁇ OR 1 , S(0) m R ⁇ NR 2 R 3 , S(0) m NR 2 R 3 or -NR 2 S(0) m R 1 where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from hydrogen or alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or heterocyclyl, any of which may be optionally substituted, or R 2 and R 3 together form an optionally substituted ring which optionally contains further heteroatoms such as sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen, n is 1 or 2 , m is 0 , 1 or 2.
- Suitable optional substituents for aryl, aralkyl and cycloalkyl and heterocyclyl groups R 1 , R 2 and R 3 include halo, perhaloalkyl, mercapto, hydroxy, alkoxy, oxo, heteroaryloxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, aryloxy (where the aryl group may be substituted by halo, nitro, or hydroxy) , cyano, nitro, amino, mono- or di-alkyl amino, alkylamido or oximino.
- Suitable alkynyl chains which may be straight or branched, have from 2 to 50 carbon atoms, more suitably from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and preferably from 8 to 15 carbon atoms.
- Monomeric compounds where the chains comprise unsubstituted alkynyl groups are suitable for producing coatings which are water repellent. By substituting at least some of the hydrogen atoms in these compounds with at least some fluorine atoms, oil repellency may also be conferred by the coating .
- the monomeric compounds include haloalkyl moieties and in particular fluoroalkyl moieties. Therefore, preferably the plasma used in the method of the invention will comprise a monomeric unsaturated haloalkynyl containing organic compound.
- Particularly suitable monomeric organic compounds are those of formula (I)

- Preferred groups R ⁇ are hydrogen or alkyl, in particular C 1-6 alkyl .
- R 9 , R 10 and R 12 are C 1-6 alkoxy in particular e hoxy .
- Suitable plasmas for use in the method of the invention include non-equilibrium plasmas such as those generated by alternating current (AC) (e.g. radiofrequencies (Rf) , microwaves) or direct current (DC) . They may operate at atmospheric or sub-atmospheric pressures as are known in the art .
- AC alternating current
- Rf radiofrequencies
- DC direct current
- the plasma may comprise the monomeric compound alone, in the absence of other gases or in mixture with for example an inert gas. Plasmas consisting of monomeric compound alone may be achieved as illustrated hereinafter, by first evacuating the reactor vessel as far as possible, and then purging the reactor vessel with the organic compound for a period sufficient to ensure that the vessel is substantially free of other gases .
- the surface coated in accordance with the invention may be of any solid substrate, such as fabric, metal, glass, ceramics, paper or polymers.
- the surface comprises a fabric substrate such as a cellulosic fabric, to which oil- and/or water-repellency is to be applied.
- the fabric may be a synthetic fabric such as an acrylic/nylon fabric.
- the fabric may be untreated or it may have been subjected to earlier treatments.
- treatment in accordance with the invention can enhance the water repellency and confer a good oil-repellent finish onto fabric which already has a silicone finish which is water repellent only.
- polymerisation is suitably effected using vapours of compounds of formula (I) at pressures of from 0.01 to 10 mbar, suitably at about 0.2mbar.
- a glow discharge is then ignited by applying a high frequency voltage, for example at 13.56MHz.
- the applied fields are suitably of average power of up to 50W.
- Suitable pulsed fields are those which are applied in a sequence which yields very low average powers, for example of less than 10W and preferably of less than 1W. Examples of such sequences are those in which the power is on for 20 ⁇ s and off for from lOOOO ⁇ s to 20000 ⁇ s.
- the fields are suitably applied for a period sufficient to give the desired coating. In general, this will be from 30 seconds to 3 hours, preferably from 2 to 30 minutes, depending upon the nature of the monomer compound used and the substrate etc.
- Plasma polymerisation in accordance with the invention particularly at low average powers has been found to result in the deposition of highly fluorinated coatings which exhibit very high levels of hydrophobicity.
- the pulses are applied at a variable rate, with relatively long pulses applied, for example of from 1 to 10 sees on initially, reducing down to short pulses for example of from lOO ⁇ s to l ⁇ s on and lO ⁇ s to lOOO ⁇ s off, later in the process. It is believed that such a regime leads to improved coatings because the initial long pulse leads to greater fragmentation of the monomer, leading to a more disorganised and therefore strongly bonding layer directly adjacent the substrate. Shorter late pulses means that the upper layers deposited retain a more organised structure and so contain a greater number of long chains, which are responsible for the oil and water repellency on the surface.
- the compound of formula (I) includes a perfluoroalkylated tail or moiety, in which case, the coating obtained by the process of the invention may have oleophobic as well as hydrophobic surface properties.
- the invention further provides a hydrophobic or oleophobic substrate which comprises a substrate comprising a coating of a alkyl polymer and particularly a haloalkyl polymer which has been applied by the method described above.
- the substrates are fabrics but they may be solid materials such as biomedical devices.
- the invention provides the use of an optionally substituted alkyne or optionally substituted cycloalkyne having at least 5 carbon in the production of water and/or oil repellent coatings by pulsed plasma deposition methods.
- Figure 1 shows a diagram of the apparatus used to effect plasma deposition.
- Plasma Polymerisation of Alkyne A fluorinated alkyne is placed into a monomer tube (I) (Fig. 1) and, if necessary, further purified using freeze-thaw cycles. Plasma polymerisation experiments can then be carried out in an inductively coupled cylindrical plasma reactor vessel (2) of 5cm diameter, 470cm 3 volume, base pressure of 7xl0 "3 mbar, and with a leak rate of better than 2xl0 "3 cm 3 min _1 .
- the reactor vessel (2) is connected by way of a "viton" 0-ring (3), a gas inlet (4) and a needle valve (5) to the monomer tube (1) .
- thermocouple pressure gauge (6) is connected by way of a Young's tap (7) to the reactor vessel (2) .
- An L-C matching unit (11) and a power meter (12) is used to couple the output of a 13.56 Mhz R.F. generator (13), which is connected to a power supply (14) , to copper coils (15) surrounding the reactor vessel (2) .
- This arrangement ensures that the standing wave ratio (SWR) of 'the transmitted power to partially ionised gas in the reactor vessel (2) can be minimised.
- a pulsed signal generator (16) can be used to trigger the R.F power supply, and a cathode ray oscilloscope (17) is used to monitor the pulse width and amplitude.
- the average power ⁇ P> delivered to the system during pulsing is given by the following formula:
- T on / ( Ton + T o££ ) is defined as the duty cycle and P cw is the average continuous wave power.
- the reactor vessel (2) was cleaned by soaking overnight in a chloros bleach bath, then scrubbing with detergent and finally rinsing with isopropyl alcohol followed by oven drying. The reactor vessel (2) is then incorporated into the assembly as shown in Figure 1 and further cleaned with a 50W air plasma for 30 minutes. Next the reactor (2) vessel is vented to air and the substrate to be coated (19) is placed in the centre of the chamber defined by the reactor vessel (2) on a glass plate (18). The chamber_is then evacuated back down to base pressure (7.2 x 10 "3 mbar) .
- Monomeric vapour is then introduced into the reaction chamber at a constant pressure of ⁇ 0.2mbar and allowed to purge the plasma reactor, followed by ignition of the glow discharge. Typically 2-15 minutes deposition time can be used, and should be sufficient to give complete coverage of the substrate. After this, the R.F generator is switched off and the vapour allowed to continue to pass over the substrate for a further 5 minutes before evacuating the reactor back down to base pressure, and finally venting up to atmospheric pressure.
- the deposited plasma polymer coatings can be characterised immediately after deposition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) . Complete plasma polymer coverage is confirmed by the absence of any Si (2p) XPS signals showing through from the underlying glass substrate.
- the experiments are preferably carried out with average powers in the range of from 0.01 to 50W, for example from 0.3 to 50W.
- the water repellency tests comprises placing 3 drops of a standard test liquid consisting of specified proportions of water and isopropyl alcohol by volume onto the plasma polymerised surface. The surface is considered to repel this liquid if after 10 seconds, 2 of the 3 drops do not wet the fabric. From this, the water repellency rating is taken as being the test liquid with the greater proportion of isopropyl alcohol which passes the test.
- the oil repellency test 3 drops of hydrocarbon liquid are placed on the coated surface. If after 30 seconds no penetration or wetting of the fabric at the liquid-fabric interface occurs around 2 of the 3 drops is evident, then the test is passed.
- the oil repellency rating is taken to be the highest- numbered test liquid which does not wet the fabric surface (where the increasing number corresponds to decreasing hydrocarbon chain and surface tension) .
