| Sumario: | The role of gaseous plasma has proven to be very beneficial in creating self-cleaning of various surfaces. Few references are there, in the published literature, on plasma enhanced hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity behavior of surfaces. A range of atmospheric pressure plasma spray systems are gaining popularity for creating self-cleaning surfaces, with some unique features, as also to fabricate new types of self-cleaning materials. In this chapter a brief introduction to essentials of plasma processing will be first presented, followed by examples of plasma assisted surface modification. This will include plasma cleaning, plasma etching, plasma polymerization/deposition, etc. Subsequently, various plasma assisted techniques to achieve a variety of self-cleaning surfaces will be highlighted. A unique combination of plasma-based approaches and sol–gel derived coating will also be discussed. |
