“…[3] An increase in surface free energy can be obtained using wet chemical processes; however, ecological requirements force the industry to search for alternative environmentally friendly methods. [4] Recently, plasma treatment of polymers has been gaining popularity as a surface modification technique since it does not require the use of water and chemicals. Therefore, it can be considered as an environmentally benign technology.…”

Polymers such as polyethylene (PE) have a low surface free energy and therefore often require a modification of their surface properties before any use. Nonthermal plasma treatment is a convenient and environmentally friendly way to obtain these modifications by introducing new chemical groups at the surface without affecting the bulk properties. Therefore, in this article, a PE film is treated with a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in air at medium pressure (5.0 kPa). The surface properties of the plasma-treated PE films are characterized using contact angle measurements, surface free energy calculations and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The polymer films show a remarkable increase in surface free energy after plasma treatment. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy of the plasma-treated PE films reveals that plasma treatment introduces oxygen-containing functionalities, such as ketones, aldehydes, alcohols and carboxylic acids on the PE surface leading to the increased surface free energy.

This paper investigates the use of atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) treatment for improving the surface hydrophobicity of rayon flock synthetic leather with organosilane precursor (tetramethylsilane (TMS)). Plasma deposition of TMS is regarded as an effective, simple, and low-pollution process. The results show that a highly hydrophobic surface is formulated on the rayon flock synthetic leather. Under a particular combination of treatment parameters, a hydrophobic surface was achieved on the APP-treated sample with a contact angle of 135˝while the untreated sample had a contact angle of 0( i.e., the fabric surface was completely drenched immediately). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the deposition of organosilane.

“…Atmospheric pressure plasma source is an alternative system. A few different designs have been developed and employed to modify the surface of materials (Cheng et al, 2006), (Schafer et al, 2008), (Guimin et al, 2009) and (Osaki et al, 2003). The system is promising to industrial application since the vacuum system is eliminated.…”
