Abstract

Parylene polymers are vapor deposited and form semicrystalline films. The properties of these films vary with chemical structure, molecular weight, and morphology. The properties of parylene films deposited by changing the standard deposition process are evaluated and compared to control films. The thermomechanical properties of films produced by three modified processes, A, P, and PC, indicate the modified processes reduce the molecular weight. The films were also annealed to determine the stability of the film's properties during thermal cycling. These results also suggest that the modified films are lower molecular weight materials.
