The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur published a remarkable study that highlights the impact of plasma processing on the morphological and electrical properties of PET

Highlights of the study

  • Comparison between atmospheric and low-pressure plasma treated PET substrates.
  • Enhanced surface roughness and wettability of atmospheric plasma treated PET substrate.
  • Impact of plasma treatment on devices made on flexible substrates.

We are proud that the IIT used Comet RF subsystems to prove the superiority of atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) processes in the flexible electronics industry which requires low temperature and continuous roll-to-roll processing of flexible substrate. Read the full study here:
