Could anybody help me ? I'm actually looking for any information (URL, book references,...) about the surface treatment of polymers (especially polyesters) using plasma technology. Thanks for any help, JF Decoster (decoster@wanadoo.be)

Start with http://google.com/ There is extensive literature. The big debate is where you inject the additive or monomer, before or after you excite the plasma. Also note capacitive vs inductive coupling or the plasma to your power supply. -- Uncle Al http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/ http://www.ultra.net.au/~wisby/uncleal/ http://www.guyy.demon.co.uk/uncleal/ (Toxic URLs!

Several years ago, Eastman Chemical Company spent quite a bit of money on
the R&D of coating PET bottles with a silica layer as an enhanced barrier
to oxygen. The company they were working with was located in San Francisco
and owned by BOG, British Oxygen Group. The same company developed much of
the equipment for plasma coatings on automobile windshields. The silica
coating did enhance the barrier properties, and the bottles could be
reground without the silica hurting the recycle. However, the process was
expensive and the bottles could not withstand much flexing.
I am glad this rat left the sinking ship of Eastman several years ago. I
do not expect them to last much longer. They expect to downsize a very
significant portion of their professional and technical staff a week from
now. I think only Earnie and his core staff of yes-men will remain!
