Popis: | DBD-induced surface modification is very versatile to increase the adhesion or hydrophilicity of polymer films. In this paper, the DBD is produced by repetitive unipolar nanosecond pulses with a rise time of 15 ns and a full width at half maximum of about 30 ns. The power densities of the homogeneous and filamentary DBDs during plasma treatment are 158 and 192 mW/m 2 , respectively, which are significantly less than that using ac DBD processing, and the corresponding plasma dose is also mild compared to AC DBD treatment. Surface treatment of polyimide films using the homogeneous and filamentary DBDs is studied and compared. The change of chemical and physical modification of the surface before and after plasma processing has been evaluated. It can be found that both surface morphology and chemical composition are modified, and the modification includes the rise of hydrophilicity, surface oxidation and the enhancement of surface roughness. Furthermore, the homogeneous DBD is more effective for surface processing than the filamentary DBD, which can be attributed to the fact that the homogeneous DBD can modify the surface more uniformly and introduce more polar functional groups. |
