polyimide film, hydrophobicity, plasma treatment, bank, post-oven

Polyimide films were treated by CF4 plasma to serve as bank material for inkjet printing OLED. Excellent hydrophobicity was thus obtained due to the F implantation. However, degradation of hydrophobicity was observed by post-oven, an inevitable process for inkjet printing. This degradation is probably caused by the H2O/O2 chemical adsorption.
