Abstract :
This paper presents results on surface processing of polymeric materials using a particular plasma reactor configuration. An atmospheric-pressure plasma beam is used to create a surface discharge with an axially symmetric profile. The exposure to He and mixtures of He with reactive gases allows combined functionalization and cross linking on polymers in film and fiber forms.
