Abstract: A method for depositing a plasma polymer layer in an atmospheric-pressure plasma on a metallic substrate, wherein the plasma is obtained by a discharge between two electrodes. At least one organic coating precursor compound is fed into the region of the relaxing plasma and is deposited on the metallic substrate as a plasma polymer layer. Nitrogen or a forming gas is used as a treatment gas and the at least one organic coating precursor compound is selected from various compounds. Also disclosed is an article, an electrode and a capacitor which utilize the method and include a metallic substrate having a surface and a plasma polymer layer on the surface. Also disclosed is a method for producing the electrode or for producing the capacitor, a battery cell or a lithium-ion accumulator which comprises the electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing surface-modified particles in atmospheric pressure plasma, and a method for producing a coating with particles dispersed therein using an atmospheric pressure plasma. The plasma is produced by a discharge between electrodes in a process gas. In both methods one of the electrodes is a sputter electrode, which sputters the particles due to the discharge. Also disclosed are methods for producing composite material, with which surface-modified particles are built in a matrix, and to said composite materials. Also disclosed are plasma nozzles and devices containing said nozzles for producing surface-modified particles and coatings with the particles dispersed therein.
