Surface modification of a polyamide 6 film by He/CF4 plasma using atmospheric pressure plasma jet

Surface modification of the laser sintering standard powder polyamide 12 by plasma treatments

“…As can be clearly seen in Figure a, a dramatic change in the color of the PA12 powder was observed as the pristine PA12 powder is white and becomes light brown after a 1 h exposure, and a darker brown after 2 h. The treated and nontreated powders were also pressed into solid discs with the disc surface displaying a uniform color which reveals that only fewer powder particles were not well‐exposed (see Figure b). Activated atoms and molecules in the electric field during plasma exposure react with the modified surface, creating new oxygenated groups and new chemical functionalities …”

“…Plasma‐ a reactive medium containing free electrons, excited and ionized atoms and molecules, radicals, and metastables and VIS‐UV radiation is widely applied also for chemically modification of polymer surfaces, e.g., ultrafine cleaning, functionalization, etching, or thin film deposition . Atmospheric pressure plasma jets are used to improve the wettability and adhesion, as is low pressure plasma .…”

Atmospheric pressure plasmas for surface modification of flexible and printed electronic devices: A review

“…The inkjet printing studies of PEDOT: POS have been carried out on three different Many more studies [47][48][49][50][51] have been carried out using various DBD type atmospheric plasmas to investigate the treatment effects on flexible substrates and for enhanced understanding of kinetics, mechanisms, and maneuvering of such plasma sources to achieve the desired results. All these studies reveal the potential of atmospheric plasmas for the surface modification of plastic substrates.…”

A universal method to create surface patterns with extreme wettability on metal substrates

“…To date, various methods have been developed for the fabrication of extreme wettability patterned surfaces, such as printing technology [21], chemical vapor deposition [22], ultraviolet irradiation [23][24], plasma modification [25][26][27], etc. Lai et al [28] fabricated high-accuracy superhydrophobic patterns on a superhydrophobic TiO 2 nanotube array (TNA) surface by photocatalytic lithography with a two-step process and can easily control the dimension and morphology of the patterns.…”
