Low‐Temperature Plasma‐Assisted Nanotransfer Printing between Thermoplastic Polymers

Plasma activation of thermoplastic polymer surfaces enables nanotransfer printing (NTP) at dramatically lower processing temperatures. Polar functional groups introduced by plasma surface activation render the polymer surfaces hydrophilic and cause a dramatic increase in interfacial adhesion, thus lowering the temperature at which NTP can be successfully performed to below the glass-transition temperature of each polymer.
