Variability in Plasma Polymerization Processes - An International Round-Robin Study

This multi‐centre investigation explores the variability that results from using the power/flow rate ratio ( W / F ) to describe plasma treatment and plasma polymerization processes. Results from fourteen reactors of different design and spread across ten laboratories, showed that the chemistry of the treated and deposited polymer/plasma polymer films is highly variable between reactor systems, and that there was no clear pattern linking these...
