Activation with Plasma

In the case of activation, the polymeric surface is exposed to plasma.

Used for the plasma are inert gases (noble gases) of gases consistent of molecules which have no atoms who can build chains, such as Ar, N₂, O₂ or NH₃.

In this case the bonds in the surface are split and reactive areas are built due to the electrons, ions and high-energy radiation which is created by the plasma. The so created radicals can then react with each other and cause an additional cross linking on the surface.

The so produced high cross linked surface is an activated surface. With gases which are not inert, such as N₂ or O₂, contained atoms can be imbedded additionally in the surface and can cause a change in the surface properties of the substrates die to new functional groups.
