[nanoPost] Ultra-thin polymer coatings for textiles, plastics, glass, and metal

The plasma is initiated by passing radio frequency through a low-pressure gas or organic vapour, creating reactive species, some of which can alter the material surface or polymerise to form an ultra thin polymer coating. By choosing the required power, and carefully selecting the starting chemical, surface functional groups can be grafted to the material to give rise to a wide range of properties offering numerous additional benefits to the unprocessed material or product.
