Surface treatment of polymers by discharge plasmas is of great and increasing industrial application because it can uniformly modify the surface of treated samples without changing the material bulk properties. Present ...

In this work we report the surface modification of different engineering polymers, such as, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) by an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). It was ...

This work reports an investigation of the surface modifications induced by irradiation with nanosecondlaser pulses of ultraviolet and visible wavelengths on crosslinked hydrophilic co-polymeric materi-als, which have been ...

Surface treatment of polymers by discharge plasmas has increasingly found industrial applications due to its capability of modifying uniformly the surface without changing the material bulk properties. This work deals with ...

In this work it was investigated the effect of the exposure to different plasmas on the wettability of silicone samples. We have observed that oxygen. argon, and hydrogen glow discharges are quite effective in reducing the ...
