Investigation of the conditions for gas breakdown in a porous dielectric

Plasma treatment of porous polymeric materials is a promising method for creating new materials that can be used in various applied problems, including medicine, in the development of new types of biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric materials. This work is devoted to the study of the processes of plasma treatment of porous polymeric materials depending on the size and type of pores in order to clarify the breakdown conditions and optimize the treatment process. A convenient semi-empirical model of the development of breakdown in a porous dielectric is proposed.
