Description
This thesis investigates a pathway to fabrication of surface coatings with a number of useful properties, like superhydrophobicity (extreme water repellence), antimicrobial, and high adhesive strength. Creation of coatings can currently require very precise and energy intensive processing, limiting scope and scale. This research involved the application of atmospheric pressure plasma at room temperature to enable chemical reactions of liquid organic precursors. By varying the plasma parameters (power and time), catalysts, substrates, and precursors, it was possible to control the properties of films created. The thesis demonstrates how this easy, quick method shows versatility in the fabrication of useful coatings.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
