Modification of Particulate Fillers in Low-Pressure Radio Frequency Gas Discharge

Abstract

The paper aims at investigating the effects of low-pressure radio-frequency plasma on properties of zeolites which may be used as fillers for producing composite materials.

Polymer Composite Materials with Dispersive Fillers Modified in a Gas Discharge

“…Low pressure polyethylene was used as a polymeric binder. For plasma modification of a polymer composite material with a solid dispersed filler, a low-pressure radio-frequency capacitive discharge installation for pilot industrial purposes was developed, the description and scheme of which is presented in [1]. The unit includes: gas supply and pressure control system; vacuum chamber with intra-chamber devices; vacuum pumping system, RF generator, cooling system, diagnostic system for RF discharge parameters in dynamic vacuum.…”
