“…The results might also be important for remote plasma conditions, e.g., in reel‐to‐reel processes when a sample is transported through the plasma zone . By leaving the plasma area, the coating might be terminated by a layer corresponding to the conditions using a mask.…”

Low pressure plasma deposition conditions are investigated yielding oxygencontaining lateral gradient coatings (a─C:H:O) by means of an inclined static mask partly shielding the substrate. Such lateral gradient coatings are formed by the diffusion of film-forming species with different reactivities underneath the mask.Surface characterization revealed varying film growth conditions below the mask different from direct plasma exposure with increasing distance from the mask/plasma edge: i) exponentially decreasing film growth; ii) decreasing roughness following the thickness trend; iii) decreasing hydrophilicity; iv) variation in cross-linking; and v) different chemical composition.Oxygen-rich film-forming species appeared to react closer to the mask/plasma edge, while oxygen-poor film-forming species can diffuse deeper, leading to a pronounced gradient in chemical composition and in cross-linking in the masked area.

There has been a steady progress in developing synthetic fibers in the past few years. Bicomponent fibers and nanofibers in a core/shell (C/S) configuration, including two dissimilar materials have presented unusual potential for use in many novel applications. These fibers can be produced using a variety of materials via different techniques i.e., coaxial melt spinning and electrospinning. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in C/S fibers and nanofibers' production. The first part has been assigned to the bicomponent fibers manufacturing technology, while production and applications of C/S nanofibers have been described in the second part.

“…Plasma surface modification is an effective technique for influencing the physical and chemical properties of interphases in fiber‐reinforced composites. Fibers can be treated using reel‐to‐reel plasma processing without interfering with the mechanical properties of the fibers . Strong adhesion is promoted by increasing the surface energy of fibers as a result of plasma modification, decreasing contact angle of the matrix, and the wettability of fibers by the matrix is thereby improved.…”

This paper reflects on the future of low-temperature plasma science in relation to the manufacturing and novel uses of glass. The text summarizes the current state of the art on the major topics discussed, such as glass processing, optics and photonics, healthcare issues, building and fenestration applications. It also identifies several challenges that are driven by applications, and which are compatible with roadmaps for their respective industries. The frontiers of plasma science are discussed, for example, in relation to the use of plasmas as an active optical element in fast-response adaptive optics systems, optical metamaterials, and the development of next-generation nanolithography. Future demand for the successful implementation of plasma-based technologies in the glass, optics, and photonic industries will depend on further progress in plasma science. Hence, some needs and recommendations concerning both fundamental and applied plasma research are summarized.
