In current materials R&D, high priority is given to surface modification techniques to achieve
improved surface properties for specific applications requirements. Plasma treatment and …

Plasma Deposition, Treatment, and Etching of Polymers takes a broad look at the basic
principles, the chemical processes, and the diagnostic procedures in the interaction of …

There exists an abundant literature on polymers used for biomedical applications. However,
the research described in this article deals with the plasma (co) polymerisation of different …

This book presents an overview of nanostructure determination and ways to find
relationships to the electronic and optical properties. The methods described can be applied …

The preparation of metal dispersions in polymers prepared by radio-frequency plasma
techniques is described. Two distinct routes are employed to obtain a metal in the gas phase …

This article will describe some of the recent progress in the area of plasma polymerization
and plasma treatment. It is not intended to be an exhaustive overview of the field, but instead …

The basic features of plasma polymerization are described and the main theoretical models
briefly discussed. Principal experimental arrangements are taken into account. Physical …

Soft coatings are widely used to tailor the surface chemistry of materials without altering their
bulk properties. However, the strength of adhesion between the coating and the substrate …

Abstract The concept of Atomic Interfacial Mixing (AIM) is suggested to account for the
enhanced water-resistant adhesion of plasma-deposited polymer to various substrate …

Abstract Thin (1000 Å) reflective (mirror-like) tin films are formed by introducing
tetramethyltin and O 2 gas into a glow discharge. The resulting films show a sheet …
