Plasma activation (or plasma functionalization) is a method of surface modification employing plasma processing, which improves surface adhesion properties of many materials including metals, glass, ceramics, a broad range of polymers and textiles and even natural materials such as wood and seeds. Plasma functionalization also refers to the ...
Topographically, plasma treatment changes the surface morphology, with different morphologies resulting from different plasma gases used. [ 6 ] Contact angle decreased with treatment by some, but not all, plasma gases – in one study, argon plasma decreased the contact angle from about 105 degrees to 30 degrees after 1 hour of treatment, but ...
Corona treatment (sometimes referred to as air plasma) is a surface modification technique that uses a low temperature corona discharge plasma to impart changes in the properties of a surface. The corona plasma is generated by the application of high voltage to an electrode that has a sharp tip. The plasma forms at the tip.
Plasma modification is one way to alter the surface of biomaterials to enhance their properties. During plasma modification techniques, the surface is subjected to high levels of excited gases that alter the surface of the material. Plasma's are generally generated with a radio frequency (RF) field. Additional methods include applying a large ...
Plasma processing is a plasma-based material processing technology that aims at modifying the chemical and physical properties of a surface. [1] Plasma processing techniques include: Plasma activation; Plasma ashing; Plasma cleaning; Plasma electrolytic oxidation; Plasma etching; Plasma functionalization; Plasma polymerization; Corona treatment ...
A critical area of ongoing research in magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks and stellarators, is understanding the physics of the plasma boundary and its interactions with plasma-facing components (PFCs), typically in the form of divertors or limiters. The high energy and particle fluxes from the plasma can alter surface ...
Plasma is a gas excited by electrical energy, and contains approximately an equal density of positive- and negative-charged ions. [8] [6] The interaction of the electrons and ions in the plasma with the surface oxidizes the surface and forms free radicals. [6] The oxidation of the surface removes unwanted contaminants and improves adhesion. [8]
Fig. 1. The surface of a MEMS device is cleaned with bright, blue oxygen plasma in a plasma etcher to rid it of carbon contaminants. (100mTorr, 50W RF) Plasma cleaning is the removal of impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma or dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma created from gaseous species.
