Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a process for modifying large polymeric surfaces; a thin, uniform coating is deposited at near ambient temperature on the surfaces in a large-volume plasma apparatus, the plasma state being produced by using electromagnetic energy in the microwave frequency range. The surfaces thus coated constitute a barrier against permeation by oxygen and moisture.
