During the production of UO 2 kernel for the high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor, a
large amount of low-level radioactive organic wastewater (LLROW) containing ammonia …

In specific applications like ice-repellent coatings or membrane separation technology,
wettability is a key parameter affecting the applicability of commodity polymers. This study …

This article investigates the surface modification of polyethylene (PE) using an atmospheric
pressure plasma jet of the DBD type (APPJ) maintained with pure argon (Ar) and with a …

As a new trend in plasma surface engineering, plasma conditions that allow more-defined
chemical reactions at the surface are being increasingly investigated. This is achieved by …

Ion beam sputtering (IBS) can induce nanoripple patterns in a short time on variety of
materials for wide range of applications. In this work, we describe the nanoripple as well as …

Micro/nanostructured surfaces with extreme wettability, such as superhydrophobic surfaces,
are useful for various applications. Herein, we used Ar plasma to form polydimethylsiloxane …

Although some progress in plasma modification of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
surface has been made recently, its adhesion strength still needs to be further improved. In …

A comparative wettability study was carried out on bulk polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and
physical vapor deposited PTFE-like thin films using low-energy Argon ion beam irradiation …

The effect of oxygen plasma processing on the wettability of the polytetrafluorethylene
(PTFE) surfaces has been studied. In this study, the radio frequency (RF) power (50–300 W) …

Superhydrophobic textiles and papers are important branches of superhydrophobic
surfaces. 1–3 Compared with pristine textiles and papers, superhydrophobic textiles and …
