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…
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…
Reactivity of water vapor in an atmospheric pressure DBD -Application to LDPE surfaces
S Collette, Thierry Dufour, Pascal Viville +1
The reactivity of water vapor introduced in an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge supplied in argon is investigated through optical emission spectroscopy measurements. This d…
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…
