In situ polymerization of aqueous solution of NIPAAm initiated by atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment as an innovative approach to synthesis of thin polymeric films and hydrogels is introduced in this work. The characterization of the active species present in the polymerization plasma system by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and UV irradiation as well as the chemical characterization of the plasma polymerized NIPAAm (PNIPAAm) films by FTIR, 1H‐NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis give evidences that the monomer chemical composition is highly retained during the in situ polymerization.

“…In particular, non-thermal plasma activation in the presence of water in liquid or vapor phase is a well-known technique to incorporate functional groups onto a polymer surface. In this context, underwater plasma treatments have been studied sporadically to fabricate substrates with homogeneous monofunctional surfaces (Joshi et al 2009b), to induce direct functionalization, stimulate cross-linked layer formation and/or to graft or deposit mono-functional layers (Friedrich et al 2008;Joshi et al 2013;Joshi et al 2009a;Joshi et al 2008;Khlyustova et al 2015). Despite these promising results, the presence of moisture during a plasma surface treatment is often still viewed upon as an impurity (Ananth and Mark 2008).…”

Effect of liquid impregnation on DBD atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of cotton

This paper describes the He non-thermal plasma treatment of liquid impregnated cotton fabrics. The cotton fabrics were soaked in either H2O, D2O or ethanol after which they were placed in an atmospheric pressure parallel-plate DBD reactor. The influence of the used liquid in combination with the plasma exposure time was studied using OES, FTIR, XPS and SEM. The addition of (deuterated) water was found to aid more efficiently in the incorporation of polar functional groups onto the cotton surface in comparison to a pure He plasma treatment.The presence of H and OH species in the discharge also caused extensive etching of the surface, which led to the formation of microcraters. The impregnation with ethanol was responsible for the formation of a plasma-based thin film on top of the cotton substrate, which was characterized by a high content of C-C bonds and a smooth surface morphology. These results show that the soaking of cotton fabric prior to plasma exposure can help to more effectively alter its surface properties compared to a dry plasma treatment.

“…[6,7] The studies of the application of such discharges were focused, mainly on the water remediation; however, also the applications for the polymer plasma surface activations have been already studied. [8][9][10] Recently, a technique for the plasma generation combining the basic features of the discharges generated in contact with water or other liquids with surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) by using water-solutions as the discharge electrodes was developed both for the water remediation [11] and plasma activations of hollow body surfaces. [12,13] Polyvinyl chloride, more correctly but unusually termed poly(vinyl chloride), commonly abbreviated as PVC, is the third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.…”

An atmospheric pressure ambient air plasma technique is developed for technically simple treatment of inner and/or outer surfaces of plastic tubes and other hollow dielectric bodies. It is based on a specific type of surface dielectric barrier discharge generating visually diffuse plasma layers along the treated dielectric surfaces using water‐solution electrodes. In the present study, the technique is used for surface activation of PVC tubes. XPS analyses of treated surfaces are performed and the aging effect on the treated PVC surface is studied.
