Front Cover: Two diff erent atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasmas have been used to clean the surface of a corroded 19 th century daguerreotype. The fi gures on top show the fi gure visage untreated; after 2 nd plasma-jet treatment on the left half-side only; and after DBD-plasma treatment of the right half-side too. The fi gures at the bottom show optical micrographies in white light of the woman's eye on the left daguerreotype portion in (a) untreated conditions and (b) after plasma-jet treatment. Further details can be found in the article by M. Boselli et al. on 1600027. Feature Article In this work, the eff ect of T substrate on the plasma deposition kinetics and thermal properties of pdMMA fi lms is assessed. A plasma deposition mechanism is proposed, based on the adsorption/desorption equilibrium of activated species, followed by a surface plasma polymerization. A decreased volatile fraction and enhanced cross-link density with increasing T substrate is shown by TG analysis. In accordance , DSC analysis confi rms an increasing glass transition. Plasma polymers and electrospray-ionization (ESI) polymer layers are compared for most ef-fi cient adhesion promotion in carbon fi ber-epoxy resin composites. Diff erences in chemical structure and composition of polymer layers are discussed as well as the surface topography of these nanometer thick fi lms.
