3D structure and dynamics of plasma-treated polymer materials

低压等离子体技术是众所周知的用于处理聚合物材料的通用工具。在近表面区域可以实现广泛的物理和化学改性效果，同时保持体积特性。然而，这种看待事物的方式在材料特性的实际深度分布方面受到严重限制，这些材料特性通常既不定量地知道，也不充分利用。拟议的研究项目着手克服这一限制，详细寻找示范和应用相关的情况下。一系列的互补和部分新的表面诊断技术，能够在亚微米尺度上的深度剖析，被用来证明聚合物材料的表面和界面工程的额外的自由度。

Low pressure plasma techniques are well-known as versatile tools for the treatment of polymeric materials. A wide range of physical and chemical modification effects can be achieved in the near-surface region while the volume characteristics are preserved. However, this way of looking at things is severely limited with respect to actual depth profiles of material properties which are often neither known quantitatively nor utilized to full capacity. The proposed research project sets out to overcome this limitation by looking in detail at exemplary and application-relevant cases. A range of complementary and partly new surface diagnostic techniques, capable of depth profiling on a sub-micron scale, is employed to demonstrate additional degrees of freedom for surface and interface engineering of polymeric materials.
