Plasma processing is a plasma-based material processing technology that aims at modifying the chemical and physical properties of a surface.

Plasma processing techniques include:

• Plasma activation
• Plasma modification
• Plasma functionalization
• Plasma polymerization
• Plasma Surface Interactions
• Plasma electrolytic oxidation
