| Description | An effective surface activation is crucial for highspeed rolltoroll coating of functional films for printed electronics applications. In this article, we report a study of surface treatment of three types of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films by an argon/oxygen atmospheric pressure plasma and an ambient air atmospheric pressure plasma to obtain the required wettability for subsequent slot die coating of transparent conductive polymer layer using a poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) ink. |
