Attention is given to results of changes in the hydrophilic property of polymer surfaces by incorporation of polar functional groups when exposed to atmospheric\u0000 pressure plasma, depending on the time of treatment, applied voltage, gas flow rate, and distance from the surface. We have successfully developed a plasma device that is able to generate cold atmospheric pressure argon plasma of low temperature (20 – 26) ° C downstream using a high-voltage\u0000 power source which can be widely used in materials processing. Therefore, a cost-effective system of generating a plasma jet at atmospheric pressure with potential applications has been developed. Cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet (CAPPJ) has shown a lot of applications in recent years\u0000 such as in materials processing, surface modification, and biomedical materials processing. CAPPJ has been generated by a high voltage (0-20 kV) and high frequency (20-30 kHz) power supply. The discharge has been characterized by optical and electrical methods. In order to characterize\u0000 cold atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet, its electron density, electron temperature, rotational temperature, and vibration temperature have been determined using the power balance method, intensity ratio method, Stark broadening method, and Boltzmann plot method, respectively. The improvement\u0000 in hydrophilicity of the cold plasma-treated polymer samples was characterized by contact angle measurements, surface free energy analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Contact angle analysis showed that the discharge was effective\u0000 in improving the wettability of polymers after the treatment. Furthermore, atmospheric plasma can be effectively used to remove surface contamination and to chemically modify different polymer surfaces. The chemical changes, especially oxidation and cross-linking, enhance the surface properties\u0000 of the polymers.","PeriodicalId":43792,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Adhesion and Adhesives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/9781119846703.CH19","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49654033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Liquefaction and pyrolysis of wood yield various smaller chemicals derived from the different wood components, which then are used in the preparation of adhesives\u0000 by replacing mainly phenol as raw material. The possible replacement of formaldehyde in aminoplastic and phenolic resins would solve the question of the subsequent formaldehyde emission. The multiple unsaturations of the triglycerides in vegetable oils enable polymerization for\u0000 the direct synthesis of thermosets, as well as bases for polyfunctionalization and crosslinking. Natural polymers, such as poly(lactic acid)s (PLAs), natural rubber, or poly(hyhydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) are thermoplastics and can be used for various special applications in wood bonding,\u0000 in case they can also be crosslinked. For other thermoplastic wood adhesives, such as PUR or PA, chemicals based on natural resources can at least replace a part or even all synthetic raw materials (monomers); these monomers derive from targeted decomposition of the wood material in biorefineries.\u0000 Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) can be used as as sole adhesives or as components of adhesives. Hydrogen bonding has a key function in binder applications related to adhesion between cellulose nanoparticles and other materials. CNFs are able to establish strong bonding between wood particles/fibres\u0000 through flexible and strong films by a simple drying process. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a by-product of the cashew nut processing with cardanol (CD) as main component. CD-formaldehyde resins show improved flexibility compared to phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins; CD can replace\u0000 up to 40% of the phenol.","PeriodicalId":43792,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Adhesion and Adhesives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/9781119846703.CH18","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41400528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge about the possibilities of modifying fibres for improved adhesion\u0000 to the plastic matrix is essential in this context. The fibre/matrix adhesion in cellulose fibre-reinforced polymers is of considerable importance for the design of composite materials. Unfortunately, there are no standards for many essential methods to determine fibre/matrix adhesion. In\u0000 this review article, various methods for measuring the interfacial shear strength between fibres and matrix, as an indirect characterisation of adhesion, are presented. Additionally, a brief overview of different methods for surface modification of cellulose fibres to improve the adhesion\u0000 to a thermoplastic matrix is given. This review focuses on the fact that the parameters for the production of test specimens as well as the test method itself can vary considerably from study to study. Because of this, the comparison of data from different publications is not always possible.\u0000 Therefore, in this article, the main influencing factors and differences in the methods are presented and discussed.

With the early theoretical framework of Thomas Young, Robert Wenzel, and A. B. D. Cassie and S.
