Abstract
Abstract Octadecyl methacrylate (ODMA) was deposited in the presence of red-hot wolfram filament. It was found that radical-initiated polymerization of ODMA occurred during its deposition. The polymer yield increased in conditions of high filament temperature, low deposition rate and high substrate temperature. Low deposition rate and high temperature (up to 280 K) affected the orientation of the deposited film. A low degree of supersaturation led to high polymer yields and improved orientation. The annealed deposited film has a structure like that of a Langmuir-Blodgett film.
