Abstract
A large area metallization pretreatment and surface activation system that uses an electron beam-produced plasma capable of delivering substantial ion and radical fluxes at low temperatures over large areas of an organic plastic or polymer material. The ion and radical fluxes physically and chemically alter the surface structure of the organic plastic or polymer material thereby improving the ability of a film to adhere to the material.
