Read MorePlasma, Flame & Corona Pretreatment for Surface Treating Plastics
Generally, plastics have chemically inert and nonporous surfaces with low surface tensions. This makes them nonreceptive to bonding with inks, adhesives, coatings, and other substrates. Polyethylene and polypropylene for example have very low surface energy. Pretreatment of these and other engineered plastics improves bonding prior to printing, coating, and laminating. The best type of surface…
Read MoreAtmospheric Surface Modification Of Polymers For Biomedical Device Adhesion
Abstract Biomedical applications require polymers that react properly with the biological environment in which they are employed. Since biocompatibility involves the interface between the device and the biological environment, surface modification techniques can be critical to solve adhesion issues, avoiding costly changes of materials. Atmospheric surface modification techniques such as air plasma, flame plasma and…
Read MoreHow and why plasma and flame surface treating improve surface adhesion.
Common adhesion impediments found on surfaces. Non-porous and hydrophobic surfaces have low surface energy with few available bonding sites due to low levels of charged ions on the surface. Additionally, any type of surface contamination affects adhesion negatively. This contamination can include material additives & release agents which can migrate to the surface. Clean, Etch…
