“…The ageing of hydrophilic is caused by the two following reasons [28]: 1) The treated material would absorb some small molecules in the air, so that the surface free energy and the hydrophilic decrease gradually.…”

A plasma surface treatment of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film was carried out with dielectric barrier glow discharge (DBGD) in Ar/air. The paper studied the effects of the ratios of Ar/air plasma on the BOPP surface modification. The results indicated that the efficiency of the plasma surface modification was improved with increasing treatment time and power density with DBGD in Ar/air. The water contact angle increased first and then decreased with the increase of the Ar/air mixture rate. The DBGD gives a better surface modification than filament discharge. The ageing behavior was influenced by the mixture rate of Ar/air, but the water contact angle of the treated sample was always less than that of un-treated sample.

“…Plasma modified PP fibers contained 14 at% of oxygen in comparison with 6 at% for unmodified PP fibers, and the O/C ratio of the modified fabric was more than 2.5 times higher. The literature [14][15][16] Table 2. Effectiveness of modifying fabrics with HSs.…”

“…For plasma treatment, several plasma types can be used. The most widely used are low pressure plasmas [13] and atmospheric plasmas [14][15][16]. Low pressure plasma treatments usually allow better surface chemistry control, but quite complicated apparatus is needed.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a study of the immobilization of humic substances (HSs) on a polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric. In order to attach the HSs, the PP nonwoven fabric was modified in a volume of nonthermal atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) under defined conditions. An unmodified PP nonwoven fabric was used as a reference sample. The modified and unmodified samples were both dipped in an aqueous solution of potassium humate, and then the samples were washed in water and the amount of HSs attached to the PP fabric was monitored. An aqueous solution of cadmium salts was filtered through the treated fabric, the content of Cd 2+ in the solution was monitored using ICP-OES analysis, and the Cd 2+ sorbed on the fabric was proved by SEM/EDS analysis. The efficiency of the PP plasma modification was proved by XPS analysis, and the presence and the distribution of the HSs along the fibers was proved by SEM analysis.

“…The results for the different gas admixtures and concentrations are shown in Figures 7-9. The increase of the polar part of the surface energy is likely to be a result of the incorporation of electronegative chemical groups on the surface of the treated BOPP [38,39]. To investigate the stability of the surface energy of the treated BOPP films, also called hydrophobic recovery or aging behaviour [40,41], the contact angle measurements were repeated every 24 h over 30 days for the samples treated in pure nitrogen.…”

Reel-to-Reel Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma Treatment of Polypropylene Films

et al. 2017

Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of the surface of a polypropylene film can significantly increase its surface energy and, thereby improve the printability of the film. A laboratory-scale dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system has therefore been developed, which simulates the electrode configuration and reel-to-reel web transport mechanism used in a typical industrial-scale system. By treating the polypropylene in a nitrogen discharge, we have shown that the water contact angle could be reduced by as much as 40 • compared to the untreated film, corresponding to an increase in surface energy of 14 mNm −1 . Ink pull-off tests showed that the DBD plasma treatment resulted in excellent adhesion of solvent-based inks to the polypropylene film.
