  • Abstract
    Hydrophobic powders are of interest for a variety of applications from coatings and membranes with unique properties to agriculture and water purification. Although the hydrophobicity of powders has been modified using different wet-chemistry methods [1, 2], plasma polymerization has been investigated as a novel alternative technology in this research.
