Plasma Surface Treatment & Activation

Surface activation, cleaning, adhesion improvement, wettability modification, and selected atomic oxygen exposure screening for compatible materials. Elect Nano uses this capability as part of application-driven materials programs where test setup, sample format, and data interpretation need to match the end-use requirement.
