Fabrication techniques plasma modification

Our previous work with PPNVP and GOx-PPNVP/PEUU (6,12,25), which focused on characterization of the surface modified thin films, has demonstrated that a reasonable amount of control can be exerted over the chemistry of plasma modification. The techniques used here to attach active GOx to PEUU may be applied to a wide variety of biomolecules and a wide variety of organic and inorganic substrates. Incorporation of GOx-PPNVP/PEUU into the thin-layer cells extended the potential applicability of GOx-PPNVP/PEUU and similar materials to specific practical applications such as sensing devices. Similarly, the ease of fabrication of the thin-layer cells and the wide variety of electrochemical techniques which are available for use with thin-layer cells warrant further development of this system. 

As an example of the importance of fabric preparation, surface modification using a technique such as low-pressure plasma is carried out when fabrics are carefully dried prior to plasma treatment. In Fig. 5.1, the pressure... 

Successful commercialization of low cost, high efficiency solar cell fabrication is highly dependent on fabrication methods that employ continuous processing techniques. One major issue encountered in solar cell construction is the adhesion of thin film solar cells on polyimide substrates. Another involves the adhesion between polymer nanocomposite solar cell structures. The examination of the adhesion promotion potential of variable chemistry atmospheric plasma surface modifications against wet primer chemistry in solar cell construction has shown that APT is a viable continuous and environmentally friendly processing alternative to batch plasma and surfactant-based surface modification protocols.
