cial adhesion is to give us the good basis and the
basic starting point for research on the MOD-
COPM project. In view of the research ap-
proaches proposed and the expertise, this re-
view is in particular focused on recent develop-
ment of surface modification technologies in
the following three major areas: (1) Electro-
chemical treatment (led by National Technical
University of Athens - NTUA); (2) atmospheric
plasma & low-pressure plasma treatment (led
by Politechnico di Torino - POLITO) and (3) ac-
tive screen & hybrid plasma treatment (led by
University of Birmingham - UOB).
