Project

Surface Modefication for Medical Implants Applications

This project studies the autohesion of polymer composites below the glass transition temperature. Realising this would mean that electronic components could be hermetically encapsulated by polymer composites without the need to use damaging high temperatures and pressures, or toxic adhesives. Advanced plasma deposition on polymer composite surface will be used to promote autohesive bond strength.
