What is it about?

In plasma surface treatment, the acquisition of quantitative understanding of radical reaction mechanisms holds significant importance. We innovatively utilized deep-ultraviolet photolysis to achieve precise regulation of radical concentrations. This allows for the elucidation of the intricate relationships between radical concentration and the fine attributes of reaction processes. Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to cross-validate the microscopic reaction mechanisms. The findings provide a robust framework for systematically exploring the essence of polymer-plasma reactions.

Why is it important?

Our research inventively applies the deep-ultraviolet photolysis method to the exploration of plasma reactions, creatively reveals the correlation between radical concentration and surface reactions, and also innovatively employs reactive molecular dynamics to corroborate the experimental conclusions.

Perspectives

I would be grateful if this paper could offer valuable references to researchers engaged in the field of plasma modification. The integration of deep ultraviolet photolysis experiments with molecular dynamics research frameworks serves to effectively elucidate the microscopic processes inherent in plasma reactions, which are often challenging to measure directly. It is important to note that while this approach demonstrates high reliability in relatively straightforward reaction systems, it necessitates greater caution in experimental design when dealing with more intricate reaction environments.
