A Physicist's Perspective on “Views on Macroscopic Kinetics of Plasma Polymerisation”

The analysis of plasma polymerisation processes by the use of macroscopic scaling parameters has been pioneered by Yasuda in 1978. His concept has been further developed and expanded by Rutscher in 1985 by introducing the concept of chemical equilibria expressed as reactor parameters. Recently, a unified scaling is proposed by Hegemann in 2007, expressed in an Arrhenius type of scaling. The overarching idea of all scaling approaches is the...
