The most commonly used surface modification protocols are plasma activation, wet chemical treatment, including grafting, and thin-film coating. [14] [15] [16] Surface energy mimicking is a technique that enables merging the device manufacturing and surface modifications, including patterning, into a single processing step using a single device ...
A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, or substrate. [1] The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. [ 2 ] Coatings may be applied as liquids , gases or solids e.g. powder coatings .
Instead of doping a surface directly, antimicrobial activity can be imparted to a surface by applying a coating containing antimicrobial agents such as biocides or silver nanoparticles. In the case of the latter, the nanoparticles can have beneficial effects on the structural properties of the coating along with their antibacterial effect. [27]
As a rule, plastic coatings have significantly higher film thicknesses than conventional paint. For polymer coating, powder coating is commonly used. [10] There are also options for wet coating, vacuum coating, dip coating, or thermal spraying. The coating can be applied to a polymer or a polymeric material.
A conversion coating is a chemical or electro-chemical treatment applied to manufactured parts that superficially converts the material into a thin adhering coating of an insoluble compound. These coatings are commonly applied to protect the part against corrosion , to improve the adherence of other coatings, for lubrication , or for aesthetic ...
