radikaalipinnoitteiset

Radikaalipinnoitteiset is a Finnish term that translates to "radical coated" in English. This term generally refers to materials or surfaces that have been treated with a process involving free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or molecules with an unpaired electron, making them highly reactive.

In industrial applications, radical coating processes can be used to modify the surface properties of materials. This might involve improving adhesion, increasing hardness, enhancing chemical resistance, or altering surface energy. These techniques often leverage the high reactivity of free radicals to initiate polymerization or grafting reactions on the material's surface.

Examples of where radical coating principles might be applied include in the manufacturing of plastics, textiles, or even in biomedical devices. The specific radicals used and the conditions of the coating process are crucial for determining the final properties of the treated material. The goal is to create a durable and functional surface layer without altering the bulk properties of the underlying substrate. This is achieved through carefully controlled chemical reactions occurring specifically at the material's interface.
