During the last few decades, non-thermal plasma surface functionalization of polymeric
materials has increasingly earned a high-flying position in a wide range of application fields …

Background Antimicrobial packaging is currently one of the emerging technologies being
pursued to extend the shelf-life of food products. Polyamides (PA) are widely used in food …

Surface modification of feed spacers rather than membranes may hold more merit as an
antiscaling strategy in membrane distillation (MD), as it avoids compromising the …

Polyolefins are considered among the most difficult polymeric materials to treat because
they have poor adhesive properties and high chemical barrier responses. In this paper, an in …

Nanosecond-pulse dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) can provide non-thermal plasmas with
extremely high energy and high density, which can result in a series of complicated physical …

Abstract Polyamide 11 and 12 (PA11 and PA12) have been applicable in various industries,
including automotive, oil and gas, and sporting goods, over the past 70 years. Although they …

This study targeted wettability and adhesion enhancement of polyamide (PA) foil surface by
plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure. Volume dielectric barrier discharge (VDBD) and …

This study reports a systematic investigation of the effects of various cold plasma treatment
parameters on adhesion characteristics of two polyamide substrates. Polyamide 6 and …

A review of the most significant scientific achievements in the field of surface modification of
polyamides by non-equilibrium plasma treatments is presented. Most authors employed …

Nanoscale surface morphology of plant fibers has important implications for the interfacial
bonding in fiber-polymer composites. In this study, we investigated and quantified the effect …
