Surface Energy Design
Using simple plasma surface modification techniques, we are able to manipulate the surface of most plastic devices to contain fluids or direct flow.
Surface treatment zone
the surface treatment zone shown in the picture above is 0.9mm. The wet zones are hydrophilic drawing water into the narrow zone while the other areas are hydrophobic to the natural polystyrene material.
