Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Front Cover:</bold> The densification of hexamethyldisiloxane plasma polymers is governed by a complex inter‐play of gas phase and surface processes. In a regime of nearly constant ion bombardment at the surface, the fragmentation of the monomer in the gas phase is of similar importance: at low energy input into the gas phase mainly mono‐radicals are formed and deposited requiring the abstraction of a CH3 group at the surface to promote film growth. At higher energy inputs the bi‐radical is directly formed in the gas phase and the energy at the surface can be used for film densification/cross‐linking. Further details can be found in the article by Noémi E.
