Competitive and synergistic effects between excimer VUV radiation and O radicals on the etching mechanisms of polyethylene and fluoropolymer surfaces treated by atmospheric He-O post-discharge
Thierry Dufour, Julie Hubert, Nicolas Vandencasteele +3
Among various surface modification techniques, plasma can be used as a source for tailoring the surface properties of diverse materials. HDPE and fluoropolymer surfaces have been t…
Etching Processes of Polytetrafluoroethylene Surfaces Exposed to He and He-O2 Atmospheric Post-discharges
J Hubert, Thierry Dufour, Nicolas Vandencasteele +3
A comparative study of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces treated by the post-discharge of He and He-O2 plasmas at atmospheric pressure is presented. The characterization of t…
Chemical and Physical Effects of the Carrier Gas on the Atmospheric Pressure PECVD of Fluorinated Precursors
Julie Hubert, Nicolas Vandencasteele, Jérémy Mertens +6
The atmospheric pressure PECVD deposition and texturization of hydrophobic coatings using liquid fluorinated C6F12 and C6F14 precursors are investigated. The effect of the carrier…
Synthesis and texturization processes of (super)-hydrophobic fluorinated surfaces by atmospheric plasma
Julie Hubert, Jérémy Mertens, Thierry Dufour +6
The synthesis and texturization processes of fluorinated surfaces by means of atmospheric plasma are investigated and presented through an integrated study of both the plasma phase…
The Role of Nonlinear Friction in the Dewetting of Thin Film Polymers
Thomas Vilmin, Elie Raphael, Pascal Damman +4
The study of the dewetting of very thin polymer films has recently revealed many unexpected features (e.g. unusual rim morphologies and front velocities) which have been the focus…
