Plasma treatment is commonly used in the electronic industry at various stages of manufacture. Plasma etching removes physical layers, while plasma enhanced deposition adds additional layers. These plasma systems can be powerful tools, critical to the manufacture of chips and electronic components and Printed Circuit Boards. Plasma treatment is commonly used to improve adhesion, bond […]
Plasma surface cleaning using Atmospheric Plasma, Vacuum Plasma or even Corona, removes organic contaminants at a microscopic level and is typically used as a final, ultrafine cleaning process for applications requiring cleanliness at a molecular level. Plasma cleaning is done using highly charged atoms, which are shot at the surface to vaporise contamination in a […]
Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile polymer widely used in various industries. However, its low surface energy can limit adhesion and bonding capabilities.
