Abstract

Enhanced wettability and adhesion of fibrous materials requires surface functionalization, e.g. for fiber-reinforced composites. Plasma functionalization as an environmentally friendly process is thus investigated using roll-to-roll low pressure plasma processing for large area treatment such as e.g. fabrics. Hydrocarbon gases (C₂H₄) mixed with a reactive gas (CO₂) are examined to optimize oxygen functionality, regarding plasma-surface interaction, deposition rates, and penetration into the fibrous structure, while limiting heat load. Power input increases deposition rates by generating more reactive and film-forming species, while optimal substrate positioning is crucial to achieve uniform coatings and desired wettability, particularly for roll-to-roll processing. The influence of potential air leakage and substrate outgassing is assessed, revealing significant impacts on deposition rates. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing plasma polymerization processes for industrial applications.

期刊介绍： Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance: A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting. B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
