already know something about the benefits of plasma treatment,
such as higher treatment (dyne) levels, extended life of
treatment over time, the lack of surface morphology degradation,
and the elimination of pinholing and backside treatment. Until
recently, low-pressure vacuum plasmas have been used to treat
two- and three-dimensional plastic objects and polymer films.
The recent introduction of high-density atmospheric plasma for
film, foil, paper, foam, nonwoven and woven substrate
applications has had a significant impact on the surfaces of
these materials at considerably lower capitalization costs.
High-density atmospheric plasma represents a new generation of
surface-treatment technology. It allows plasmas to be sustained
at atmospheric pressure in a way that permits the surface
treatment of polymers and other substrate
