Studies on the use of the coaxial plasma bulb for enhanced wettability of aluminum and polymethylmethacrylate surfaces

Properties of aluminum oxide thin film obtained by metal plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition after zirconium-based pretreatment

“…Zirconium-treated surface increases the surface roughness [24]. The contact angle obtained using water on the untreated surface is close to the result obtained by Golru et al [25] using aluminum, where a contact angle of 57.9 was measured for such material.…”
