In contrast to plasma polymerization, plasma surface modification reactions do not cause
thin-film deposition, and can therefore only modify the surface properties of organic substrates. Plasma
surface treatment techniques offer fast, efficient methods for improving the adhesion properties and
other surface characteristics of a variety of polymeric materials.
This volume of papers from internationally recognized experts actively working in the field of
plasma surface modification was originally published in special issues of the
Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology. It provides a comprehensive overview of the plasma treatment of polymers. The focus is
on adhesion phenomena, surface properties, and surface characterization. The book opens with a
critical review of the field.
From the Preface: “...The focus of this book is the plasma or glow-discharge, which can be defined
as a partially ionized gas normally generated by an electrical discharge at near-ambient temperatures
and reduced pressures...[P]lasma surface modification...occurs by altering the chemistry of the
outermost few molecular layers of the polymer. It is interesting to note that although studies of plasma
polymerization have tended to dominate the scientific literature, plasma surface modification processes
account for most of the commercial use of plasma technology...”
Target Audience: Academic and industrial plasma researchers and adhesion scientists concerned
with the methods, applications, and effects of plasma surface modification of polymers.
