Plasma Processing of Polymers

This tutorial book on plasma treatment and the deposition of polymers differs from others on the subject due to the great effort devoted to giving a rationale for: the bases of plasma polymerization; the diagnostic procedures and techniques for both gas phase and surfaces; process control techniques; ageing and surface dynamics; reactor architectures; most important industrial applications in, e.g., plastic coatings, food packaging, optical coatings, paper and web treatments, corrosion prot...
