Project description
In the project a new coating method for biomaterials will be developed. The proposed approach is to use an atmospheric pressure RF plasma source for the controlled deposition of amine-containing groups on non-woven textiles. Using advanced optical plasma diagnostics and surface characterization techniques, a relationship will be established between the process parameters and the properties of the deposited film.
