Overview
Although polymer surface modification is a topic of a large number of investigations, relatively little attention has been paid to surface activation technologies which, when appropriately utilized, make specific polymer-based surfaces receptive to value-adding interfaces such as inks, coating and adhesive formulations.
The aim of this book is to describe the primary polymer adhesion issues faced by manufacturers, processors and converters, to outline a variety of methods for attaining an appropriately activated surface, and to provide the diagnostics for various adhesion promotion issues as well as troubleshooting guidelines.
Primary Polymer Adhesion Issues with Inks, Coatings, and Adhesives
Basic Principles of Atmospheric Discharge Surface Modification Technologies
Air Plasma (Corona) Treatment Technologies: Features and Application Benefits
Ozone Treatment Technology: Features and Application Benefits
Flame Plasma Treatment Technologies: Features and Application Benefits
