| Description | Contact angles and Attenuated Total Reflection FTIR measurements were performed to study plasma activation of aluminium surface in air atmosphere using Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge plasma source. Two types of aluminium surfaces were used: i) industrially produced bulk aluminium samples; ii) thermally evaporated thin films of aluminium on glass (sets of 400 nm and 2 mkm thickness). It was shown by means of Attenuated Total Reflection FTIR that plasma activation in air created functional OH groups on the surface. Additionally, aging effect of plasma activation was measured. |
