Effects of oxygen and tetravinylsilane plasma treatments on mechanical and interfacial properties of flax yarns in thermoset matrix composites

Abstract: This work is focused on the assessment of the effect of oxygen and polymer plasma tetravinylsilane (pp-TVS) treatments on the adhesion of flax yarns with epoxy and vinylester thermoset matrices. These low temperature plasma processes have been selected as more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional chemical treatments. Tensile tests performed on single flax yarns revealed a reduction in their mechanical properties after plasma treatments. In particular, a tensile strength reduction of 36.4% was d… Show more

“…The spectra appear to be similar, however the main effect produced by the enzymatic treatment was a strong reduction in the bands at around 1736-1742 cm −1 , which can be assigned to the carboxylic ester in the pectin and wax [37] and to the carbonyl C = O stretching of the acetyl groups of hemicellulose [38] and, at 1597 cm −1 , 1514 cm −1 and 1450 cm −1 , of the lignin [8]. It is to be noted that the enzyme preparation used in the present study was not pure, therefore the presence of side enzyme activities cannot be excluded.…”

“…To highlight the changes induced by the enzymatic treatment on the composition of the flax yarns, the FT-IR analysis was carried out on the samples treated using the minimum ( Figure 5) and maximum ( Figure 6) concentration of the Peclyve solution. The spectra appear to be similar, however the main effect produced by the enzymatic treatment was a strong reduction in the bands at around 1736-1742 cm −1 , which can be assigned to the carboxylic ester in the pectin and wax [37] and to the carbonyl C = O stretching of the acetyl groups of hemicellulose [38] and, at 1597 cm −1 , 1514 cm −1 and 1450 cm −1 , of the lignin [8]. It is to be noted that the enzyme preparation used in the present study was not pure, therefore the presence of side Comparing the infrared spectra of the flax yarns enzymatically treated using a 2.5 wt % Peclyve solution for different durations ( Figure 5), it is possible to notice that the longer the treatment time, the greater the removal efficiency of the enzymatic solution.…”
