Abstract
The nature of low-pressure glow-discharge plasma, plasma equipment, and the effect of plasma on materials is reviewed. Examples are given of the improved adhesive bonding of polymers after plasma treatment (2–10 times improvement in lap-shear) and of the surface cleaning and chemical modification that occurs during plasma treatment.Keywords
