At the same time however, not only the shape of such components but also additional functionality is demanded. This is especially the case for integration of electrical and electronic applications. By combining atmospheric plasma-treatment and chemical metallising, it is possible to achieve such functions. This opens the door to a large number of new areas of application.de667671journal article
