Read MoreMyths and Mysteries of Measuring Dynes, Surface Free Energy & Contact Angle
Since plasma and flame surface treatment create no visible changes to a surface, methodologies have been developed to measure the changes to a surface after treatment. These diagnostics are quite valuable, but they are often conducted with flawed testing practices and the results are frequently misunderstood. In this new webinar, experts from Enercon & KRÜSS…
Read MoreAdvances In Adhesion With Co2-Based Atmospheric Plasma Surface Modification
Abstract The use of gas and/or liquid-phase carbon dioxide (CO2) with atmospheric plasma discharge surface pretreatment technology can remove micron and submicron particulates and hydrocarbon-based contaminations on plastics and metals. The cleaning process is based upon the expansion of either liquid or gaseous carbon dioxide through an orifice. The paper provides an understanding of the…
