Hydrophilic treatment of carbon-coated metal by plasma fluorination
Surface modification of a carbon-coated stainless steel (SUS304) was carried out by nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) plasma irradiation. NF3 plasma irradiation changed the surface wettability of the carbon-coated SUS304 from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.
