Abstract
Aluminium oxide powder has been deposited on a thermoplastic polymer ( PET) using atmospheric plasma and laser (CO2, lambda = 10.6 mu m). The results have shown that there exists a mechanical anchorage of cerami c on the surface of the polymer whatever the technique used with diffe rent ceramic structures. To characterize the ceramic coating, two tech niques have ken used by tribological solicitation with little displace ment (fretting) and by erosion. In this case, ceramic influence on the surface has been noted like protective substance in addition to the p olymer structure interaction.
