Abstract

Effect of non-oxidative plasma treatments on the surface properties of poly(pphenylene terephthalate) (PPTA) and poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibres as measured by inverse gas chromatography

Conductive Aramid Fibers from Electroless Silver Plating of Crosslinked HPAMAM-Modified PPTA: Preparation and Properties

“…Para aramid fibers (commonly referred to as PPTA fibers) were first produced in 1972 and have since then been widely used in diverse areas such as military applications, aerospace industry, electrical engineering, and so on. 2 , 4 , 5 Because PPTA fibers are excellent materials for electrical insulation, they can easily generate and accumulate substantial static electricity that can damage electronic equipment and textiles during their use. 6 Static electricity can also be a fire hazard and negatively impact human health.…”

“…Para aramid fibers, that is, poly­( p -phenylene terephthamide) fibers, are well known for their high strength, high modulus, and high crystallinity. − They have not only excellent mechanical properties but also outstanding thermal stability, chemical stability, heat resistance, and flame retardant ability. Para aramid fibers (commonly referred to as PPTA fibers) were first produced in 1972 and have since then been widely used in diverse areas such as military applications, aerospace industry, electrical engineering, and so on. ,, Because PPTA fibers are excellent materials for electrical insulation, they can easily generate and accumulate substantial static electricity that can damage electronic equipment and textiles during their use . Static electricity can also be a fire hazard and negatively impact human health. − The electromagnetic interference from PPTA fibers can also interrupt the normal functioning of electronic devices, and cancer risk escalates when people are exposed to prolonged electromagnetic radiation.…”
