Oxygen Plasma Treatment
KEY WORDS: surface treatment, plasma, hydrophobicity, micro manufacture, nano manufacture
Description of the services offered
Oxygen plasma at low pressure (high vacuum) reacts with the molecules deposited on the surface of the piece being worked on, it breaks them up and converts them into volatile compounds.
Needs requested and applications
Oxygen plasma is particularly effective for eliminating organic compounds, such as grease, oil and polymers, from the surface. It is also a strong disinfectant. It can also be used for etching processes and activating OH groups on rusty surfaces, changing the hydrophilic properties.
Sector or area of application
Micro and nano manufacture
