The role of crystallinity on polymer interaction with oxygen plasma.

This paper was published in a top quality journal specialized in plasma polymer interaction. Results of systematic research showed that the surface reactions depend not only on the type of polymer, but also on its degree of crystallinity. The oxidation rate for amorphous polymers is much larger than for crystalline polymers so the latter are more stable in plasma and may stand quite large fluxes of plasma particles.

Determination of the neutral oxygen atom density in a plasma reactor loaded with metal samples

This paper published in a top uality speciallized journal for plasma sources reveals the importance of plasma facing components in reactors. Metallic components can not be avoided in reactors for modification of polymers on industrial scale. In this paper we clearly showed that the presence of metals cause a substantial drain of atoms from plasma. This effect should be taken into account in designing new reactors for modification of polymer foils.
