Simulation of fractal surface of films formed by polymerization in gas discharge

Abstract

The paper describes a technique for modeling the structure of surfaces of polymers synthesized by plasma vapor deposition (polymerization). The method is realized by using computer technology and allows to simulate geometry of the surfaces for a given initial distribution of structural elements and to calculate the fractal dimension of the model. The fractal characteristics of surfaces of polymers experimentally synthesized in the discharge of fluorine and silicone monomers are found.
