plasma

To understand plasma polymerization, we must first clarify the term “plasma”. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, is an ionized gas composed of free electrons and positively charged ions. When this plasma interacts with gaseous monomers, fascinating reactions can be triggered.

Plasma polymerization uses exactly this process. In this process, gaseous monomers are excited by a plasma. The result of this process are highly cross-linked layers that can be deposited on various, freely selectable substrates.

The highly cross-linked layers produced by plasma polymerization are used in a variety of applications. From electronics to medical technology, these layers can help improve or modify a material's properties.
