Apparatus and method for surface treatment.

摘要

Apparatus suitable for use in the surface treatment of an article (6), in which the apparatus comprises two opposing electrodes (1, 2) and means for applying a high-voltage difference and thereby activating the surface of an article (6) disposed between the electrodes (1,2), characterised in that one of the electrodes (1) includes a flexible contact member (3) which can follow the contours of the article (6). The apparatus can be used to activate the surface of the article (6), e.g. if the article (6) and the contact member (3) are moved relative to each other. Activation is preferably in a plasma.
