Abstract :
Atmospheric pressure plasmas are an appealing alternative for surface treatments. An advantage offered by nonthermal plasmas in particular is the modification of temperature sensitive materials. Here, we present copper coatings on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene that were achieved with a nonthermal dc operated air plasma jet.
