Plasma resistant coatings are advanced protective layers engineered to withstand the aggressive conditions encountered in plasma processing, especially within semiconductor manufacturing. These ...

Plasma ‘pens’ integrated into production lines provide targeted plasma treatments that reduce failure rates by improving adhesion and bonding of chemical adhesives, printing inks, and coatings.

Russian researchers have proposed using boron-coated tungsten to protect fusion reactor walls during operation.

The bonding of difficult materials can be improved by plasma treatment, according to PVA TePla, a company with sites in Germany and the USA – silicone and PTFE are amongst the firm’s specialities. It ...

Toyohashi University of Technology research team led by lecturer Toru Harigai have developed an ultra-high-rate coating technology for functional hard carbon films using vacuum plasma. Functional hard ...

A typical multilayer system for the display cover of a mobile telephone, an electronic measurement device or an in-car navigation system that would consist of, for example, a bonding agent layer, an ...

Plasmatreat’s (Steinhagen, Germany) Openair-Plasma processes are designed to optimize additive manufacturing (AM) by significantly improving the quality of components while also reducing the ...

Australian researchers have developed a high‑performance coating made from peppermint essential oil that can be applied to the surfaces of many commonly used medical devices, offering a safer way to ...

Plasma technology is commonly used in many industries, including in the automotive, microelectronics, packaging and medical device industries. Along with solid, liquid and gas, plasma is a state of ...

Not all types of plasma are equivalent. The difference between some naturally occurring plasmas can be quite distinct. For example, a lightning bolt contains an apparently high density of electrons, ...

The team also discovered that the peppermint oil coating increased bacterial sensitivity to common antibiotics like colistin and levofloxacin. This discovery promises to help reduce antibiotic ...
