“…The plasma processing of polymers have largely been focused on flat polymer substrates (i.e., films, foils), fibers and fabrics, tubing, membranes, porous structures, pellets, or preformed plastic parts . Relatively little attention has been devoted to the plasma treatment of polymer powders, which is certainly related to the much more demanding powder processes.…”

This review provides a comprehensive overview of scientific research on plasma treatment of polymer powders over the last 40 years. The current state of the art is described with special focus on basic research in the laboratory and commercially available technologies in industrial applications. Different reactor systems with low‐pressure and atmospheric pressure plasma are presented. Then, numerous application examples of plasma‐treated polymer powders are presented together with a brief overview of the experimental test results. Furthermore, the effects of the process parameters on the final properties of the polymer powders are discussed. Attempts are made to determine similarity parameters and correlations between the generated surface functionalities. Finally, some suggestions for future research are given.

“…In comparison, the physical method has a milder effect on the interface modification, environmental pollution, damage to the fiber, and impact on the properties of the material itself [ 15 ]. The commonly used physical methods are plasma treatment and corona discharge [ 16 , 17 ]. By performing plasma ionization treatment under different atmospheres, the fiber surface can be etched with increasing surface roughness, and the chemical structure of the fiber surface can be changed as well.…”

Superior Enhancement of the UHMWPE Fiber/Epoxy Interface through the Combination of Plasma Treatment and Polypyrrole In-Situ Grown Fibers

Obtaining a robust fiber/matrix interface is crucial for enhancing the mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced composites. This study addresses the issue by presenting a novel physical–chemical modification method to improve the interfacial property of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber and epoxy resin. The UHMWPE fiber was successfully grafted with polypyrrole (PPy) for the first time after a plasma treatment in an atmosphere of mixed oxygen and nitrogen. The results demonstrated that the maximum value of the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the UHMWPE fiber/epoxy reached 15.75 MPa, which was significantly enhanced by 357% compared to the pristine UHMWPE fiber. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of the UHMWPE fiber was only slightly reduced by 7.3%, which was furtherly verified by the Weibull distribution analysis. The surface morphology and structure of the PPy in-situ grown UHMWPE fibers were studied using SEM, FTIR, and contact angle measurement. The results showed that the enhancement of the interfacial performance was attributed to the increased fiber surface roughness and in-situ grown groups, which improved the surface wettability between the UHMWPE fibers and epoxy resins.
