“…9 The approach we took was hydrophilization of the surface. Hydrophilization can, for example, be achieved by plasma treatment, [10][11][12] or coating with inorganic (TiO 2 , ZnO) [13][14][15] or organic substances (hydrophilic polymers). 16,17 One feature of a hydrophilic surface is a low contact angle of water (<90°).…”

“…This non polluting technique allows to contribute to some surface modifications such as the increase of wettability [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…At last the very low energy cost of this recent treatment method is remarkable 11 : the duration of the discharge corresponding to one DC pulse is one hundred times lower than the 3 time period between two DC pulses. As a consequence polymer samples are mainly exposed to a "temporal afterglow" which underscores the important role of long-lived reactive species generated in the plasma 12 .…”

“…In a recent study, the effect of argon plasma treatment on the chemical and physical properties of microtiter well surfaces was analyzed using contact angle measurements, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (30). Argon plasma treatment was found to first clean the surface of volatile contaminants and then to introduce oxygen functionality into the surface.…”
