This comprehensive book combines in-depth but condensed state-of-the-art chapters on plasma physical basics, plasma diagnostics, interactions of plasma-solid, chemistry at polymer surfaces, energetic situations in plasma and at polymer surfaces, reactions on and after plasma exposure, grafting, and polymer surface analysis. Technical applications such as adhesion, cleaning, wettability, textile modification, coatings, films, etc. are discussed as well. New perspectives are explained to use selective and mild processes to allow post-plasma chemistry on non-degraded polymer surfaces.
