Atmospheric pressure plasma processing has attracted significant interests over decades
due to its usefulness and a variety of applications. Adhesion improvement of polymer …

Owing to growing concerns about making pollution-free sustainable environment by
reducing the dumping of agricultural waste and convert it into valuable product is a key to …

This chapter details how plasma treatments can be used to tailor the wettability of polymers.
A plasma is an excited gas, and exposure of a polymer to a plasma discharge generally …

To engineer polymer surfaces with long-lasting wettability properties and with high coating
stability in aqueous media, we investigated the surface wettability of polyethylene …

Scaffolds synthesized from synthetic polymers, though mechanically robust, are hydrophobic
in nature, lack sufficient cell attracting cues and are not amenable to monitoring. These …

One-part (1K) polyurethane (PU) adhesive has excellent bulk strength and environmental
resistance. It is therefore widely used in many fields, such as construction, transportation …

Polyethylene (PE) foils were modified with potent contact-active antibacterial quaternary
ammonium salts (QAS) by an atmospheric air plasma activation step, followed by graft …

Identifying the surface chemistry of diamond materials is increasingly important for device
applications, especially quantum sensors. Oxygen-related termination species are widely …

This paper reports a spectroscopic study of non-thermal plasma chemistry in an air-fed
dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet. In situ analysis (ie the analysis of the plasma …

A hydrophobic polyester fabric with a prior surface activation using a dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) treatment was successfully dyed with natural Logwood dye …
