Abstract
Glow discharge plasma is an effective method for treating surfaces, sputtering, etching, plasma-assisted deposition, ashing, and is used in a range of other processes. Sigma Technologies Int’l, Inc., has developed a novel plasma system which can be operated at atmospheric pressure, thereby eliminating the need for vacuum chambers and pumps. This atmospheric plasma system can be effectively used for surface treatment and for plasma-assisted deposition. This plasma system has been tested successfully for the functionalization of various polymer films. The surface energies of the films treated by the newly developed atmospheric plasma system have been shown to increase substantially, thereby enhancing the wettability and adhesion properties of these films. Details of the atmospheric pressure plasma system, and the results from treatment tests are presented.
