Akram, M. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Ernst, L.J. (author), Bhowmik, S. (author)In this investigation surface treatment of titanium is carried out by plasma ion implantation under atmospheric pressure plasma in order to increase the adhesive bond strength. Prior to the plasma treatment, titanium surfaces were mechanically treated by sand blasting. It is observed that the contact angle of de-ionized water decreases with the...journal article 2011
