Ag-plasma polymer fluorocarbon (PPFC) nanocomposite thin film was manufactured using a mid-range frequency dual sputtering method with a ternary carbon nanotube-Ag-Polytetrafluorethylene composite target. It was confirmed that the Ag nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the PPFC matrix through the TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). The transmittance of Ag-PPFC nanocomposite thin film coated on PET substrate is more than 91% at 550 nm due to the low refractive index of the film and the optical compensation effect. In addition the Ag-PPFC nanocomposite thin films on fabric substrates also exhibited an excellent water repellency of 142 degrees due to the low surface energy of the PPFC matrix. The Ag-PPFC nanocomposite thin film was also found excellent antibacterial activity against bacterial growth and propagation by 92.2% compared to uncoated substrate. This is due to the super-hydrophobicity of the PPFC matrix and the antibacterial properties of Ag nanoparticles.
