Solid‐state bonding of silicone elastomer to glass by vacuum oxygen plasma,atmospheric plasma,and vacuum ultraviolet light treatment

We experimentally demonstrated that treating a silicone elastomer by a vacuum oxygen plasma, an atmospheric pressure plasma, and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation resulted in different surface modifications that gave different contact angles, contact angle aging, and bond strengths. The aim of this study was to assess whether high‐throughput surface modification techniques of atmospheric pressure plasma and VUV radiation have the potential to replace conventional oxygen plasma modification. Four silicone elastomers with different hardnesses were used as specimens. The surfaces of all four silicone elastomers were successfully modified from hydrophobic to hydrophilic and they were also bonded to glass surfaces by the three surface modification techniques, although considerable variations were observed in the surface hydrophobicity and the bonding properties. The results clearly reveal that atmospheric pressure plasma and VUV treatment have the potential to replace conventional oxygen plasma treatment. In particular, VUV irradiation produced the most hydrophilic surface that was preserved for a long time. Thus, VUV irradiation is the most promising technique for realizing high‐throughput surface modification and bonding of silicone elastomers. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mechanism of the Immobilization of Surfactants on Polymer Surfaces by Means of an Argon Plasma Treatment: Influence of UV Radiation

The mechanism of the immobilization of the surfactant sodium 10-undecenoate (C11(:)) on poly(ethylene) (PE) by means of an argon plasma treatment has been investigated. In particular, the influence of the vacuum ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the argon plasma on the immobilization was studied. For this purpose, PE samples were coated with C11(:) (PE/C11(:) samples) and treated with an argon plasma under different conditions. PE/C11(:) samples were placed inside (glow) and outside (afterglow) the visible region of the plasma. Additionally, polymer samples that were placed in the glow of the plasma were covered with lithium fluoride or quartz crystals. These materials are transparent for electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer than 104 and 150 nm, respectively. Derivatization X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy was applied to characterize the modified polymer surfaces. It was demonstrated that vacuum UV radiation with a wavelength shorter than 150 nm made a predominant contribution to the process of immobilization. Under certain conditions it was possible to retain about 30% of the functional groups of the initially coated surfactant layer on PE. Furthermore, the UV radiation accounted for etching of PE and PE/C11(:) surfaces and initiated oxidation of the polymer surfaces.     

Surface modification of microfluidic channels by UV-mediated graft polymerization of non-fouling and ‘smart’ polymers

Microfluidic channels prepared from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have been modified by UV-mediated graft polymerization of temperature-responsive polymers (poly[N-isopropyl acrylamide] or pNIPAAm), temperature- and pH-responsive copolymers (P[NIPAAm-co-acrylic acid (AAc)]), and a non-fouling hydrogel (polyethyleneglycol diacrylate, or PEGDA). This was done by presorbing a photosensitizer (PS) within the PDMS channel surface regions, contacting the different monomer solutions with the PS-containing surface under nitrogen, and irradiating with UV. The pNIPAAm-grafted surface was hydrophilic below its lower critical solution temperature (LCST), resisting non-specific adsorption, while it was hydrophobic above its LCST, now binding pNIPAAm-coated nanoparticles. Combined temperature- and pH-responsive surfaces were also prepared by UV radiation grafting a monomer mixture of pNIPAAm with AAc. The surfaces have been characterized by advancing water contact angle measurements. These smart microfluidic channels should be useful for many applications such as affinity separations and diagnostic assays.     

Effect of reactive oxygen species generated with ultraviolet lamp and plasma on polyimide surface modification

Understanding the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as singlet oxygen molecule and atomic oxygen, on polyimide (PI) film properties, such as wettability, morphology, and chemical bonding state, is essential for further development of PI‐based surfaces. We investigated the effect of different ROS generated during ultraviolet (UV) and plasma treatment in oxygen gas on surface modification of Kapton PI. Different surface modification techniques, UV and plasma treatment, are known to generate different ROS. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of different ROS on PI surface modification. From the diagnostics of ROS by means of electron spin resonance and optical emission spectroscopy, we confirmed that during UV treatment, excited singlet oxygen molecules are the main ROS, while plasma treatment mainly generated atomic oxygen. The wettability of PI surface treated by UV and plasma resulted in hydrophilic PI surfaces. XPS results show that the wettability of PI samples is mainly determined by their surface O/C ratio. However, chemical bonding states were different: while UV treatment tended to generate C=O bonds, while plasma treatment tended to generate both C―O and C=O bonds. Singlet oxygen molecules are concluded to be the main oxidant during UV treatment, and their main reaction with PI was concluded to be of the addition type, leading to an increase of C=O groups on the surface of PI film. Meanwhile, atomic oxygen species were the main oxidant during plasma treatment, reacting with the PI surface through both etching and addition reaction, resulting in a wider variety of bonds, including both C―O and C=O groups.     

Photoinduced hydrophilic conversion properties of titania nanosheets

Photoinduced hydrophilic conversion properties of titania nanosheets were investigated. A highly hydrophilic state was achieved on the monolayer film surface of titania nanosheets, the thickness of which is less than 1 nm. The hydrophilic conversion rate (k) for the monolayer film of titania nanosheets was proportional to the intensity (I) of irradiated light, suggesting that the hydrophilic conversion of the titania nanosheet surface proceeded under light-limited conditions even with a high concentration of photoexcited carriers. As the number of layers of titania nanosheets increased, the dependence behavior changed from k proportional, variant I(1.0) to k proportional, variant I(0.5), indicating that the recombination processes become dominant in the multilayer films of titania nanosheets. In-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed a very small but reproducible structural change of titania nanosheets upon UV irradiation.     

Differential Photosynthetic Response of a Green Tide Alga Ulva linza to Ultraviolet Radiation,Under Short‐ and Long‐term Ocean Acidification Regimes

Both ocean acidification (OA) and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation can bring about changes in macroalgal physiological performance. However, macroalgal responses to UV radiation when acclimatized to OA under different time scales are rare. Here, we investigate the response of Ulva linza, a green tide alga, to UV radiation in the form of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) or PAB (PAR+UVA+UVB) radiation. Radiation exposures were assessed following long‐term (from spore to adult stage, 1 month) and short‐term (adult stage, 1 week) OA treatments. Results showed that increased CO₂ decreased the damage rate (k) and repair rate (r) of thalli grown under short‐term OA conditions with PAB treatment, the ratio of r:k was not altered. Following long‐term OA conditions, r was not affected, although k was increased in thalli following PAB treatment, resulting in a reduced ratio of r:k. The relative level of UV inhibition increased and UV‐absorbing compounds decreased when algae were cultured under long‐term OA conditions. The recovery rate of thalli was enhanced when grown under long‐term OA after UV radiation treatment. These results show that blooming algae may be more sensitive to UV radiation in marine environments, but it can develop effective mechanisms to offset the negative effects, reflecting acclimation to long‐term OA conditions.     

Routine measurement of erythemally effective UV irradiance on inclined surfaces

Measurements of erythemally weighted UV radiation are usually related to a horizontal surface. The radiation is weighted with the sensitivity of the human skin, but the surface of the human body has only few horizontal surfaces. Therefore the UV radiation on inclined surfaces has to be quantified to investigate UV effects on humans. To fulfill this task three fully automatic measuring systems were built to measure the erythemally weighted UV radiation in 27 directions within 2 min. This system measures routinely during the whole day and has now been in operation for nearly three years (in total 2000 measurement days) under any kind of meteorological conditions. The measurements provide the informations needed for further investigations concerning the UV effects on humans. The calibration of the erythemally weighting radiometers was performed in a way to provide reliable UV index measurements for all directions. The results of four exemplary measurement days in summer and winter for clear sky and overcast conditions are presented.     

Surface modification of Sylgard-184 poly(dimethyl siloxane) networks by ultraviolet and ultraviolet/ozone treatment

We report on the surface modification of Sylgard-184 poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) networks by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment. The effects of the UV light wavelength and ambient conditions on the surface properties of Sylgard-184 are probed using a battery of experimental probes, including static contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure, and X-ray reflectivity. Our results reveal that when exposed to UV, the PDMS macromolecules in the surface region of Sylgard-184 undergo chain scission, involving both the main chain backbone and the side groups. The radicals formed during this process recombine and form a network whose wetting properties are similar to those of a UV-modified model PDMS. In contrast to the UV radiation, the UVO treatment causes very significant changes in the surface and near-surface structure of Sylgard-184. Specifically, the molecular oxygen and ozone created during the UVO process interact with the UV-modified specimen. As a result of these interactions, the surface of the sample contains a large number of hydrophilic (mainly -OH) groups. In addition, the material density within the first approximately 5 nm reaches about 50% of that of pure silica. A major conclusion that can be drawn from the results and analysis described in this work is that the presence of the silica fillers in Sylgard-184 does not alter the surface properties of the UVO- and UV-modified Sylgard-184.     

Characterization of CO2 plasma treated polymeric membranes and quantification of flux enhancement

Low-temperature CO₂ plasma is used for the treatment of poly-ethersulfone (PES), polyamide (PA) and poly-phenylene ethersulfone (PPE) ultrafiltration membranes. This has led to significant enhancement of the wetting characteristics of the membrane surface as is shown by contact angle measurements and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum analysis of the treated membranes. Changes in the physical characteristics of the surface, such as tensile property, surface roughness, etc. are quantified by tensile strength measurement and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. An increase in the measured values of the di-electric constants further highlights the hydrophilic modification of the surface. A series of ultrafiltration experiments using a BSA solution of known concentration under different operating conditions is performed and the deposition thicknesses over the membrane surface during ultrafiltration are measured directly using image analyzing microscopy. The results clearly demonstrate that a plasma treated PES membrane is more hydrophilic with smoother surface and resists fouling leading to significant enhancement of permeate flux.
