Surface energy control

• Ultraviolet treatment (batch/R2R)
• Corona treatment (R2R)
• Infrared treatment (strong IR-lamp)
• Plasma treatment (batch)
• UV-ozone cleaner (batch)
• Plasma cleaner (Harrick)

Grafting and molecular monolayers

• Electron beam grafting (with living free radical polymerization) Self-assembled monolayer deposition

Additional surface modification techniques

• Sputter
• Thermal evaporator (metals and organics)
• E-beam vacuum evaporator (inside glove-box)

Additional surface modification techniques available through existing co-operation with external partners

• Atomic layer deposition
• Plasma coating
• Chemical vapor deposition
