Surface functionalization of materials can be performed very efficiently applying continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) processes. These R2R technologies are a major path for the scale-up of surface treatments and functionalization of flexible substrates such as polymer films, membranes, textiles, non-wovens and fibers as well as of glass or metals.

MPG’s unique surface functionalization technology uses cold atmospheric plasma to directly graft organic chemistry onto any substrate in a single-step, with less or no solvent. This scalable process can be adapted to many materials and forms. Ariane was one of the first aerospace customers to use MPG technology.

Are you looking to take your surface treatment to the next level? Look no further than Roplass Plasma Sources! Our cutting-edge DCSBD technology is revolutionizing the industry with its unique capabilities. Here’s why you should consider our plasma sources:

For applications where the reuse of recycled polymers might require high adhesion, Empa developed an R2R plasma process allowing to use rPET in the same way as virgin PET.

Combining flame treatments with aerosols of functional polymer solutions opens up new opportunities for the activation and the functionalization of polymer surfaces.

Combining flame treatments with aerosols of functional polymer solutions opens up new opportunities for the activation and the functionalization of polymer surfaces.

When comparing flame treatment to corona treatment (that are the two most commonly used pretreatment methods for improving polymers surface adhesion), even if both based on oxidation of polymer surface, following differences can be underlined:

19 million tons of packaging waste are generated in Germany every year. To stop the trend, optimization through processing & modification of new materials is necessary.
