Plasma surface activation of PTFE tubing promotes adhesive bonding to hubs and connectors, enhances uniform adhesion of biocompatible coatings, and enables solid and permanent ink marking.

Modern manufacturing operates at such a high speed that few issues are as frustrating—or as costly—as adhesion failure. Ink ...

Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is created by applying electrical energy to a gas, causing ion formation. When an energy source, such as electrical energy or radio waves, transfers energy to gas ...

A recent study published in Scientific Reports examines how metallic thin films, specifically cobalt layers used in hard disk drives (HDDs), can be modified to improve their performance and ...

The bonding of difficult materials can be improved by plasma treatment, according to PVA TePla, a company with sites in Germany and the USA – silicone and PTFE are amongst the firm’s specialities. It ...
