“…The interaction between plasma reactive species and the substrate surface leads to surface functionalization and etching [4]. In surface functionalization process, chemical reactions take place and yield various oxygen-containing functional groups on the substrate surface [5]. These functional groups composed of hydroxyl, carbonyl, epoxy and/or carboxylic acid that are more hydrophilic than hydrocarbon polymer chains therefore they can significantly promote the surface wettability [6] The second option to enhance wettability is to increase the surface roughness [7].…”

The effect of the microwave (2.45 GHz) plasma power on the surface topography was evaluated on a commercially available epoxy composite. The plasma treatment was performed by varying the microwave plasma power from 200 W to 500 W at a constant oxygen flow rate at 20 sccm for one min treatment. Based on the Atomic Force Microscopy analysis, the surface roughness root mean square was changed from -2% to 21% by increasing the plasma power from 200 W to 500 W. In oxygen plasma, the interaction of plasma ions with the substrate surface leads to oxidation and etching of surface materials. More plasma ion density and ion current can be produced by increasing the plasma power. As a result, more interaction between plasma ion and substrate surface using high plasma power. The surface roughness can be considerably increased by plasma treatment using power above 400 W.
