Unraveling Exclusive In-Plasma Initiated Oxidation Processes Occurring at Polymeric Surfaces upon O<sub>2</sub> Admixtures to Medium Pressure Ar and N<sub>2</sub> DBD Treatments

Unraveling Exclusive In-Plasma Initiated Oxidation Processes Occurring at Polymeric Surfaces upon O<sub>2</sub> Admixtures to Medium Pressure Ar and N<sub>2</sub> DBD Treatments

Polymeric surfaces have been increasingly plasma-activated to adopt adequate chemistries, enabling their use in different applications. An unavoidable surface oxygen insertion upon exposure to non-oxygen-containing plasmas was always observed and mainly attributed to in-plasma oxidation stemming fro...
