Surface characterization of plasma‐modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) film surfaces

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film surfaces were modified by argon (Ar), oxygen (O₂), hydrogen (H₂), nitrogen (N₂), and ammonia (NH₃) plasmas, and the plasma‐modified PET surfaces were investigated with scanning probe microscopy, contact‐angle measurements, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy to characterize the surfaces. The exposure of the PET film surfaces to the plasmas led to the etching process on the surfaces and to changes in the topography of the surfaces. The etching rate and surface roughness were closely related to what kind of plasma was used and how high the radio frequency (RF) power was that was input into the plasmas. The etching rate was in the order of O₂ plasma > H₂ plasma > N₂ plasma > Ar plasma > NH₃ plasma, and the surface roughness was in the order of NH₃ plasma > N₂ plasma > H₂ plasma > Ar plasma > O₂ plasma. Heavy etching reactions did not always lead to large increases in the surface roughness. The plasmas also led to changes in the surface properties of the PET surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic; and the contact angle of water on the surfaces decreased. Modification reactions occurring on the PET surfaces depended on what plasma had been used for the modification. The O₂, Ar, H₂, and N₂ plasmas modified mainly CH₂ or phenyl rings rather than ester groups in the PET polymer chains to form C? O groups. On the other hand, the NH₃ plasma modified ester groups to form C? O groups. Aging effects of the plasma‐modified PET film surfaces continued as long as 15 days after the modification was finished. The aging effects were related to the movement of C?O groups in ester residues toward the topmost layer and to the movement of C? O groups away from the topmost layer. Such movement of the C?O groups could occur within at least 3 nm from the surface. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 3727–3740, 2004     

Surface modification of aromatic polyamide film by oxygen plasma

The surface of poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) films was modified by oxygen plasma, and the modified film surface was analyzed by an advancing contact meter and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The advancing contact measurement showed that the oxygen plasma treatment made the surface of the PPTA film hydrophilic. The XPS analyses also showed the increase in the O/C and N/C atom ratio, especially the O/C atom ratio, at the PPTA film surface by the oxygen plasma treatment. A main oxygen functionality formed by the oxygen plasma treatment is a carboxylic acid group, and a main nitrogen functionality formed is a protonated amino group. The formation of the oxygen and nitrogen functionalities formed by the oxygen plasma treatment is not restricted to the surface of the PPTA film, but penetrates at least 35 Å deep from the film surface. The formation of these carboxylic acid and protonated amino groups is a result of the bond scission of the amide linkages in the PPTA film. Interactions of photons in the oxygen plasma rather than interactions of electrons and activated oxygen atoms contribute greatly to the bond scission. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Plasma modification of polypropylene surfaces and grafting copolymerization of styrene onto polypropylene

The surface of polypropylene(iPP) is modified with glow discharge plasma of Ar,so that the modified surfaces of iPP films are obtained.The studies of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) show the surface etching pattern of iPP films. The chemical structures of iPP films are confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy.The wetting properties of modified surfaces of iPP films are characterized by contact angle, and the free energy of surfaces is calculated.The free radical of modification surfaces of iPP is measured by chemical method.The surfaces of iPP are achieved with Ar plasma treatment followed by grafting copolymerization with styrene(St) in St.The grafting polymer of St onto iPP is characterized by FTIR.The grafting rate is dependent on plasma exposure time and discharge voltage.The studies show that homopolymerization of St is undergone at the same time during the grafting-copolymerization of St onto iPP.     

High surface density immobilization of oligonucleotide on silicon

Oligonucleotide (11-mer) molecules are immobilized on silicon in high surface population using either a permanent thioether bond or a chemo-selectively reversible disulfide bond to the surface thiol functionality. Substrate hydroxy groups are first silanized with an 11 carbon trichlorosilane containing a terminal, protected thiol moiety. Oligonucleotide modified with a tether possessing a terminal thiol group is further derivatized with a water-soluble, halobenzylic bifunctional reagent, which allows the complete conjugate to be attached to the surface through a permanent thioether bond. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide-tether complex can be combined with a pyridyldisulfide compound, which, in turn, facilitates the formation of a reversible disulfide bond with surface thiol. The amount of immobilized oligonucleotide was determined by radiochemical labeling with 32P. Additional verification of surface amounts was obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of substrates. The results of the immobilization protocols are compared with the oligonucleotide surface population achieved through the conventional silanizing agent, mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. Finally, a preliminary confirmation of duplex formation of a TTU-attached 25-mer with its complementary strand is outlined.     

The Effects of Plasma Irradiation on Saccharides

Monosaccharides and polysaccharides are chemically modified when they are subjected to rf plasmas derived from oxygen, nitrogen, or argon. The plasma treatment converts hydroxyl groups within the bulk to carbonyl groups on the order of one per anhydroglucose unit. On the surface, the concentration of carbonyl groups is greater than in the bulk. The activated surfaces formed by the plasma treatments are stable for at least 1.5 h. The observed spectral (IR, ESCA, and ESR) changes of the irradiated samples are the direct result of the plasma and not the secondary result of plasma-activated surfaces reacting with the atmosphere.     

Surface characterization and properties of plasma‐modified cyclic olefin copolymer/layered silicate nanocomposites

In this study, cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)/layered silicate nanocomposites (CLSNs) were prepared by the intercalation of COC polymer into organically‐modified layered silicate through the solution mixing process. Both X‐ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy images of CLSNs indicate most of the swellable silicate layers were disorderedly intercalated into the COC matrix. The effect of layered silicate on the mechanical and barrier properties of the fabricated nanocomposites shows significant improvements in the storage modulus and water permeability when compared with that of neat COC matrix. Surfaces of COC and CLSN films were modified by a mixture of oxygen (O₂) and nitrogen (N₂) plasmas with various treated times, system pressures, and radio frequency (RF) powers. The surfaces of plasma‐modified COC and CLSN were investigated using scanning probe microscopy and contact‐angle measurements. The exposure of the COC and CLSN film to the plasmas led to the combination of etching reactions of polymer surface initiated by plasma and the following addition reactions of new functional groups onto polymer surfaces to change the topology of COC film surfaces. The surface roughness was closely related to how high and how long the RF power was input into the system. The plasmas also led to changes in the surface properties of the CLSN surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic; and the contact angle of water on the surface decreases. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface characterization and barrier properties of plasma‐modified polyethersulfone/layered silicate nanocomposites

This study describes the preparation of polyethersulfone (PES)/layered silicate nanocomposites (PLSNs) by mixing PES polymer chain into organically‐modified layered silicate in 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone (NMP) solution. Both X‐ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy images of PLSNs indicate that the silicate layers were almost exfoliated and randomly distributed into the PES matrix. The mechanical and barrier properties of PLSNs show remarkable enhancement in the storage modulus and water/oxygen permeability when compared with that of neat PES matrix. Surfaces modification of PES and PLSN films with various treated times, system pressures, and radio frequency (RF) powers were performed using a mixture of oxygen (O₂) and nitrogen (N₂) plasmas. The topographical and physical properties of plasma‐modified PES and PLSN surfaces were investigated using scanning probe microscopy (SPM), contact‐angle measurements, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These results indicate that the surface roughness of PLSNs with the same condition of plasma modification is lower than that of neat PES matrix and is probably due to the increase of stiffness with the presence of inorganic layered silicates in PES matrix. The surface properties of the PES and PLSNs are also changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The XPS spectra suggest that the exposure of the PES and PLSNs to the plasmas led to the combination of etching reactions of polymer surface initiated by plasma and the following addition reactions of new oxygen‐ and nitrogen‐containing functional groups onto polymer surfaces to change their surface properties. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fouling and protein adsorption effect of low-temperature plasma treatment of membrane surfaces

Adsorption of proteins and the effect of the chemical nature of membrane surfaces on protein adsorption were investigated using¹⁴C-tagged albumin and several microporous membranes (polyvinilydene fluoride, PVDF; nylon; polypropylene, PP; and polycarbonate, PC). The membrane surfaces were modified by exposing them to low-temperature plasma of several different monomers (n-butane, oxygen, nitrogen alone or as mixtures) in a radiofrequency plasma reactor. Transients in the permeability of albumin solutions through the membranes and changes in flux of distilled water through the membranes before and after adsorption of albumin were used to investigate the role of protein adsorption on membrane fouling. The results show that the extent of adsorption of albumin on hydrophobic membranes was considerably more than that on hydrophilic membranes. The hydrophilic membranes were susceptible to electrostatic interactions and less prone to fouling. A pore-blocking model was successfully used to correlate the loss of water flux through pores of defined geometry     

Surface properties of polypropylene following a novel industrial surface‐treatment process

Polypropylene (PP) is used in many automotive applications where good paint adhesion is of primary importance. PP is widely known for its low surface energy which impacts negatively on its adhesion strength. PP surfaces were modified using a new industrial surface‐treatment process known as the Accelerated Thermo‐molecular adhesion Process (ATmaP). ATmaP grafts functional groups to the polymer surface derived from an atomised and vapourised nitrogen‐containing coupling agent. The surface properties and adhesion performance of PP samples treated using the ATmaP process and two different flame processes were compared using XPS, time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) and mechanical testing (pull‐up tests). The latter showed that ATmaP improved adhesion strength significantly in comparison with conventional flame treatments. XPS showed an increase in oxygen and nitrogen concentration on the surface of ATmaP‐treated samples compared with untreated and flame‐treated samples. Principal components analysis (PCA) of the ToF‐SIMS data revealed the major phenomena occurring during the surface treatment of PP samples. Early stage events, including the chain scission of the PP backbone chain and the subsequent reaction of these chains with the surrounding air, are captured by the first principal component (PC1). The increase in the concentration of NO surface functional groups resulting from ATmaP treatment is captured by the second principal component (PC2). Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Introduction of Primary Amino Groups on Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Surfaces by Ammonia and a Mix of Nitrogen and Hydrogen Plasma

With the aim of introducing primary amino groups on the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), two methods were compared—the use of ammonia or a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen low-pressure microwave plasma. Several plasma parameters were optimized on the reactor to increase the –NH₂ surface density, which was estimated by colorimetric titration and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These techniques show that whatever the plasma treatment, almost 2 –NH₂/nm2 are incorporated on PET films. Emission spectroscopy highlighted a correlation between the density of primary amino groups and the ratio between an NH peak intensity and an Ar peak intensity (I_NH/I_Ar). Variation in surface hydrophilicity with aging in air after plasma treatment was monitored with contact angle measurements and showed a hydrophobic recovery. This was confirmed by XPS, which suggests also that surfaces treated by NH₃ plasma are more stable than surfaces treated by N₂/H₂.
