Advancements in Plasma-Deposited Nanocoatings: Applications and Characterization

Presented by Nicolas Vandencasteele, Plasmalex

In this presentation, we’ll showcase the latest advance in industrial scale nano coating by plasma polymerization. Our discussion encompasses both vacuum and atmospheric plasma deposition methods, offering a comprehensive overview of these cutting-edge technologies. We begin with a technical introduction that explains the operating principles of atmospheric and vacuum plasma. This segment highlights the distinct technological differences and specificities of each method.

The core of our talk centers on the diverse applications of these nanocoating. We will showcase a range of implementations, for some of them accompanied by a scientific and/or technical characterization of the coatings. Among the featured applications are release coatings, which are integral to casting and transfer processes as well as hydrophobic and hydrophilic coating on membrane/filtration media.

Our aim is to provide attendees with a clear understanding of the latest advancements in plasma-deposited nanocoating, highlighting their multifaceted applications and the scientific principles underpinning their development and use.
