The primary key feature of this book is the introduction of over thirteen years of practical experimental evidence of successful surface modifications by atmospheric plasma methods it offers a handbook based approach for leveraging and optimizing atmospheric plasma technologies which are currently in commercial use. In this context atmospheric pressure plasma app technologies attract growing interest in the field of surface processing of flexible materials due to the absence of vacuum equipment which results in several benefits such as the reduction of process and reactor costs the employment of easy to handle apparatuses and the easier integration into continuous production lines. Atmospheric pressure plasma for surface modification rory a wolf isbn 978 1 118 01623 7 264 pages october 2012 read an excerpt description this books focus and intent is to impart an understanding of the practical application of atmospheric plasma for the advancement of a wide range of current and emerging technologies . Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on mechanically modified titanium surface leads to much lower contact angle and ultimately further increase in surface energy which resulted in more improvement of adhesive bond strength
