Plasma dye coating as straightforward and widely applicable procedure for dye immobilization on polymeric materials

Dye coating techniques for colored materials are often cost intensive or cause degradation of the material during processing. Here the authors demonstrate a fast, scalable and cost efficient plasma dye coating procedure, which allows for covalent immobilization of dye molecules on different polymer...
