Nonthermal Plasma Treatment Improves Uniformity and Adherence of Cyclodextrin-Based Coatings on Hydrophobic Polymer Substrates

Low surface energy substrates, which include many plastics and polymers, present challenges toward achieving uniform, adherent coatings, thus limiting intended coating function. These inert materials are common in various applications due to favorable bulk, despite suboptimal surface, properties. Th...
