Research Project
Plasma Modification of Carbon Surfaces
Treatment of carbon surfaces (graphite and glassy carbon) with radiofrequency plasmas alters the surface characteristics. Monolayers attached to the surface enable further functionalisation with desired molecules, which in turn can be used to produce advanced technologies such as biosensors. One aim of this project is to use such plasma processing to enable a working biosensor to be produced, through collaboration with the Electroanalytical and Sensors Group at UNSW.
Within the Smart Surface Structures Group at Flinders University, plasma processing is one of the techniques used to tailor the chemical, physical and structural properties of the surfaces used and studied.
