| Abstract | An ionized medium consisting of electrons, ions and possibly of neutrals and photons, which meets some additional criteria, is called a plasma. According to this definition, the term plasma covers a wide range of phenomena. Low pressure plasmas, as discussed here, are universal tools for surface treatment. Depending on the process parameters and the process gas material loss or material deposition can predominate. In the intermediate case a shallow surface layer is modified with respect to its chemical and/or physical properties. In the first part of this chapter low pressure plasma surface modification of polymeric materials is discussed. The second part introduces the deposition of thin polymer films by means of plasma polymerization. <br /><br />Book Description<br />Polymers are one of industrys most vital substances. In what is an extremely practical and applicable new work, experts provide concise explanations, with examples and illustrations, of the key techniques in this important field.<br />In each case, after basic principles have been reviewed, applications of the experimental techniques are discussed and illustrated with specific examples.<br />Readers from a huge variety of relevant fields will thus benefit from an application-oriented book that helps them to find solutions to both fundamental and applied problems.<br />Those who are familiar with these versatile compounds will know that the surfaces and interfaces of polymers play an important role in most of the application areas of polymers.<br />These applications stretch from moulds, foils, and composites, to biomaterials and applications in micro- and nanotechnology.<br />Therefore it is very important to be able to characterize these surfaces and interfaces in detail something that Stamm has achieved with real style.<br /><br />ISBN 978-3-540-73864-0 |
