What are the Common Surface Modification Techniques?
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This technique involves the chemical reaction of gaseous precursors to form a solid material on the substrate's surface. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Here, materials are vaporized and then condensed onto the substrate to form a thin film. Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): These are organized layers of molecules that form spontaneously on the surface of a substrate. Plasma Treatment: Utilizes ionized gas to modify the surface properties of materials, improving adhesion and wettability. Electrochemical Deposition: Involves the reduction of metal ions in an electrolyte solution to form a coating on the substrate.
