Summary on Grant Application Form |
Tfhe application fo novel atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasmas (APNEPs), as a alternative to vacuum plasmas, to surface engineer novel surface properties requires three crucial advances in our scientific understanding of the way in which polymer surfaces can be manipulated with such plasmas. This project seeks to investigate (I) the generation of controlled chemical function at polymer surfaces using APNEP induced grafting of reactive groups (ii) deposition of inorganic coatings onto funtionalised surfaces using the source plasma ant the molecularly excited downstream region, and (iii) identification of the key excited metastable species in the post-source downstream region of APNEP.
