Knowledge Articles
There are a number of quick and simple tests to determine the effectiveness of a particular plasma process upon a surface. Adhesion and surface energy explained through these test methods can help characterise both untreated and plasma-treated surfaces, offering a clear comparison before and after processing. Each test provides insight into the surface energy of the material being evaluated. Before describing the various test methods, it is useful to review what is meant by surface energy.

Preparation of Nanoparticles - Recently published research in Nature Materials, by groups working at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Imperial College London and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory details advances in the development of organic semiconductor photocatalysts which could be used in solar panels to harness more of the sun’s energy than was previously possible.
Plasma Treatment of PDMS for improved adhesion/bonding performance of microfluidic devices – new application note available now.
Recently published research from scientists at Queen Mary University of London and GlaxoSmithKline demonstrates the complex nature of nanoscale adhesion mechanisms between polymeric biomaterials and biological samples. This work highlights the role of plasma surface treatment for biomedical adhesion, where Henniker’s HPT-200 plasma system was used to prepare clean silicon and gold substrate surfaces for the synthesis of various polymer brushes and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
