Effect of Plasma Irradiation on Hydrophilicity of Ni Plate

As described herein, this study examined the influence of a plasma irradiation on the deposit geometry of Ni-W on Ni. From FT-IR images, it became evident that hydroxyl improves the hydrophilic property of Ni. From XPS findings, we infer that hydrocarbon removal on Ni and change from the Ni surface to hydrophilic Ni2O3 improved the Ni-W deposit geometry.
