Polymer Surface Modification With Plasma Reaction For Materials Integration

Surface modification of polystyrene thin films was achieved using a plasma process with reactive gases to form functional groups. Advancing contact angles were measured after modification. Polystyrene surfaces were observed to reach a minimum average wetting contact angle of 7 degrees. The time requ...
