“…Therefore, the plasma processing of CFs is aimed to provide better contact and adhesion between individual plies without decreasing the CF mechanical resistance [2], [3]. This surface modification is originated by the introduction of chemical functional groups and surface morphology alteration during the treatment [4]. The plasma treatment of CFs by air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure is much cheaper than other plasma treatments because it needs no closed chambers, special gases, and expensive vacuum equipment [3].…”

Plasma processing of carbon fibers (CFs) is aimed to provide better contact and adhesion between individual plies without decrease in the CF mechanical resistance. This paper deals with surface modification of CFs by an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) for enhancing the adhesion between the CF and the polymeric matrix. The scanning electron microscopy of the treated samples revealed many small particles distributed over entire surface of the fiber. These particles are product of the fiber surface etching during the DBD treatment that removes the epoxy layer covering as-received samples. The alteration of the CF surface morphology was also confirmed by the Atomic force microscopy (AFM), which indicated that the CF roughness increased as a result of the plasma treatment. The analysis of the surface chemical composition provided by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that oxygen and nitrogen atoms are incorporated onto the surface. The polar oxygen groups formed on the surface lead to the increasing of the CF surface energy. The results of interlaminar shear strength test (short beam) of CFs/polypropylene composites demonstrated a greater shear resistance of the composites made with CFs treated by DBD than the one with untreated fibers. Both the increase in surface roughness and the surface oxidation contribute for the enhancement of CF adhesion properties.

“…Another high-performance thermoplastic material, namely poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone), PPESK, was reinforced with Twaron PPTA short fibers, with and without treating the reinforcement with air dielectric barrier discharge plasma (DBD) [114]. Results show this specific plasma treatment is responsible for the introduction of reactive functional groups such as CO, O=C and O=CO.…”
