Özet
In this study, it was aimed to obtain PolyTerpenol thin films by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique using Terpinen-4-ol essential oil, which is organic compounds. The surface morphology and chemical properties of polymer thin films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. AFM analyzes of PolyTerpenol thin films revealed that the thin films are homogeneous, smooth and nonporous. The optical properties of the thin films were determined using UV–Vis spectrophotometer. When optical band gaps of thin films were examined, it was found that this value varied from 3.83 to 3.20 eV. The extinction coefficients of the obtained thin films according to the increasing RF energy were calculated as 0.0011, 0.0060, 0.0085 and 0.0150, respectively, at a wavelength of 320 nm. In addition, antibacterial effects of these thin films against Escherichia Coli (E.Coli) bacteria were also investigated. The PolyTerpenol thin films were found to have high antibacterial activity against E. Coli bacteria. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
