Contact angles plasma cleaning effect

In-line, continuous applications of atmospheric plasma technology are most prevalent in the surface cleaning of roll-to-roll foils. Specifically, the effects of oxygen plasma treatments on the composition and wettability of cold-rolled aluminum foil surfaces, for example, have been closely examined using measurements by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA) and contact angle. Common cleaning results indicate that oxygen plasma treatments will contribute two primary surface effects on the composition of cold-rolled aluminum. The first is the efficient removal of residual carbon particles. The second is an increase in the thickness of...
