Adhesion to Plastics – The Chemical Bonding Effects by Atmospheric Plasma

Plasma processes have been developed to create a variety of specific surface modifications and properties, primarily for the enhancement of adhesion. Good adhesion requires strong interfacial forces via chemical compatibility and/ or chemical bonding. Plasma processing can also be used to tailor surface energies, and to clean surfaces, in a dry (and very green) processing mode. This webinar will explain the potential functionalization of polymer surfaces and define the plasma processing techniques to use to improve bond strength.

  • Surface Energy and Functionality of Polymers
  • Air Plasma Reaction Mechanisms
  • Chemical Plasma Reaction Mechanisms
  • Plasma Surface Modification Effect on Polymers
  • Plasma Functionalization of a PP Surface
  • Comparison of Atmospheric Plasmas
  • Application Examples & Recommendations

Registration Deadline 5pm, March 1, 2010
