Carbon-bridges were successfully incorporated into the molecular structure of inorganic silicate films deposited onto polymer substrates using an oxidative atmospheric plasma deposition process. Key process parameters that include the precursor chemistry and delivery rate are discussed in the context of a deposition model. The resulting coating exhibited significantly improved adhesion and a 4-fold increase in moisture resistance as determined from the threshold for debonding in humid air compared to dense silica or commercial sol-gel polysiloxane coatings. Other important parameters for obtaining highly adhesive coating deposition on oxidation-sensitive polymer substrates using atmospheric plasma were also investigated to fully activate but not overoxidize the substrate. The resulting carbon molecular bridged adhesive coating showed enhanced moisture resistance, important for functional membrane applications.
