This research topic delves into the fascinating realm of plasma treatment applied to PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) utilizing the advanced technology of Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD). PEEK, already esteemed for its outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, undergoes transformative modifications through this cutting-edge plasma technique.
 
The primary objective is to investigate how DCSBD plasma alters the surface characteristics of PEEK, focusing on changes in hydrophilicity and adhesion properties. Students engaging in this study will delve into the intricacies of plasma physics, surface chemistry, and material science, gaining a profound understanding of the synergistic effects that occur during the treatment process.
 
This research holds significant implications across diverse industries, such as aerospace, medical, and electronics, where modified PEEK surfaces can lead to enhanced biocompatibility and superior bonding capabilities. The student undertaking this topic will have the opportunity to contribute to advancing materials science, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable with PEEK through precise control of the DCSBD plasma parameters. The insights gained from this study may pave the way for novel applications and innovations in the broader field of advanced materials and surface engineering.
