Plasmatreat will present a study exploring how data science can enhance paint adhesion on carbon fiber composites using atmospheric plasma. Plasmatreat will also be available at Booth #Q41 for exciting live demonstrations and discussions on multi-material bonding and plasma surface pretreatment.
In collaboration with researchers from the University of Washington, Plasmatreat is set to unveil cutting-edge research in materials science with a presentation titled "Exploiting Data Science for Atmospheric Plasma Enhanced Paint Adhesion on Carbon Fiber Composites." This presentation promises to delve into the pioneering synergy of data science techniques and plasma surface treatments to revolutionize paint adhesion processes.
Carbon fiber composites are renowned for their lightweight and high-strength properties, making them indispensable in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and high-end sports equipment. These materials require a protective coating, usually paints, for longevity. However, ensuring optimal paint adhesion on these surfaces has posed challenges due to their unique material properties.
Through meticulous research and experimentation, the University of Washington and Plasmatreat team has leveraged data science methodologies to further enhance paint adhesion using atmospheric plasma. This innovative approach not only promises to improve the durability and performance of coatings but also has the potential to significantly advance manufacturing capabilities in carbon fiber composite applications.
"We are excited to present our findings, which represent a fusion of cutting-edge technology and materials science," said Ryan Robinson, Plasmatreat’s Senior Applications Engineer on the project. "Our research demonstrates how data-driven insights can unlock new possibilities in enhancing the functionality and reliability of surface treatments on carbon fiber composites."
The presentation will be held at the San Diego Convention Center, Room 4 on September 11th, beginning at 10:00 AM. Media representatives, industry professionals, and researchers interested in the future of materials science are encouraged to attend.
