Surface DBD plasma functionalization of the interior of PVC and PTFE tubes: effects on surface properties and environmental safety assessment of leaching

This study investigates the internal surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) tubes using a liquid-electrode surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) plasma system. The approach addresses the “hollow body problem” by enabling unifor...
