Atmospheric pressure plasma synthesis of adaptable coatings based on castor oil urethane dimethacrylate and their properties by Eusebiu-Rosini Ionita, Maria-Daniela Ionita, Antoniu Moldovan, Cristina Surdu-Bob, Violeta Melinte, Andreea L. Chibac-Scutaru, Andrada Lazea-Stoyanova

“…Urethane-dimethacrylate polymers are generated using light energy, in the presence of photoinitiators, and are the choice materials for many composite materials, biomaterials, optical materials or coatings. In this study, we present an alternative, new, synthesis method for castor oil polymethacrylate (CO-PMA) films by exposure of a liquid precursor (namely castor oil urethane dimethacrylate (CO-UDMA)) to a non-thermal atmospheric pressure cylindrical plasma source. …”
