Through the thin layers that can be generated by plasmas, plastics can be given entirely new properties. Where packaging is required, plasma technology is capable of creating environmentally friendly, recyclable, and thus sustainable overall solutions for protecting the contents through coatings. In recent years, plasma technology has also experienced significant growth in fields such as medical technology. Sterilising instruments and coating implants or syringes are just a few examples of its applications. Plasma treatments are also frequently used industrially to alter the wettability properties of surfaces and to positively influence the adhesion of materials applied after the process. For example, this can improve the adhesion of paints, printing inks, adhesives, and welding connections between similar or dissimilar plastics.                    <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"cpt-job-wysiwyg-block_bc54e1777ae708878cc10a2d6c2fd921\" class=\"block-cpt-job-wysiwyg pb-base\">\n    <h3 class=\"h2 text-lg\">Your task<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"wysiwyg container py-2 m-0 text-base\">\n        <p>Our main focus is on plant and coating development.
