    摘要: A plasma polymerisation method for coating a substrate with a polymer layer, which method includes:
    providing a substrate to be coated within a plasma chamber;
    introducing a flow of a first polymer precursor to the plasma chamber;
    applying a power at a level greater than zero Watts (W) and converting the first polymer precursor to a first polymer precursor plasma;
    exposing the substrate to the first polymer precursor plasma;
    introducing a flow of a second polymer precursor to the plasma chamber;
    applying a power at a level greater than zero Watts (W) and converting the second polymer precursor to a second polymer precursor plasma; and
    exposing the substrate to the second polymer precursor plasma,
    wherein exposing the substrate to the first polymer precursor plasma forms a first polymer layer thereon and exposing the substrate to the second polymer precursor plasma forms a second polymer layer thereon, characterised by maintaining the power at a level greater than zero Watts (W) between exposing the substrate to the first polymer precursor plasma and exposing the substrate to the second polymer precursor plasma.
