Improving surface quality of polyethylene terephthalate film for large area flexible electronic applications

Lamination is a method utilized to protect flexible electroluminescence device against environmental hazards, such as dust, moisture, and water vapor. The materials are typically joined together using adhesive or cohesion of the materials during the lamination process. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is commonly used as the substrate film where electroluminescence patterns are printed. However, PET film has a relatively low surface energy and high contact angle, which would cause relatively weak laminating strength. This paper discusses the use of atmospheric plasma as a surface treatment method to modify PET and laminating films’ interface to improve bonding and laminating quality. Experimental results revealed that atmospheric plasma process reduced the contact angle of both PET and laminating films. Functional groups favoring hydrophilicity were found on the films’ interface after the atmospheric plasma treatment. These effects consequently increased surface energies of both films and favored bonding between the films. The treated films thus had increased laminating strength by approximately six times without compromising the transparency quality.     

Surface Modification of Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) Films by Plasma Pre-Activation and Plasma Polymerization of Glycidyl Methacrylate

Surface modification of poly(tetrafuoroethylene) (PTFE) film by plasma polymerzation and deposition of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), in the presence and absence of Ar or O₂ plasma pre-activation, was carried out to enhance the adhesion with polyimides (PI) film in the presence of an epoxy adhesive. For deposition carried out at low RF power, a high epoxide concentration was preserved in the plasma-polymerized GMA (pp-GMA) layer on PTFE (pp-GMA-PTFE). However, high adhesion strength of the PI/pp-GMA-PTFE laminate was obtained only in the presence of O₂ plasma pre-activation of the PTFE substrates prior to plasma polymerization and deposition of GMA. In the absence of any plasma pre-activation or in the presence of Ar plasma pre-activation, the deposited pp-GMA layer on the PTFE surface could be readily removed by solvent extraction. The adhesion enhancement of the PI/pp-GMA-PTFE laminates in the presence of O₂ plasma pre-activation was attributed to the preservation of the epoxide functional groups in the pp-GMA layer, the curing of the GMA chains into the matrix of the epoxy adhesive, and the covalent bonding of the pp-GMA layer on the PTFE surface.     

The role of conditioning film formation and surface chemical changes on Xylella fastidiosa adhesion and biofilm evolution

Biofilms are complex microbial communities with important biological functions including enhanced resistance against external factors like antimicrobial agents. The formation of a biofilm is known to be strongly dependent on substrate properties including hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, structure, and roughness. The adsorption of (macro)molecules on the substrate, also known as conditioning film, changes the physicochemical properties of the surface and affects the bacterial adhesion. In this study, we investigate the physicochemical changes caused by Periwinkle wilt (PW) culture medium conditioning film formation on different surfaces (glass and silicon) and their effect on X. fastidiosa biofilm formation. Contact angle measurements have shown that the film formation decreases the surface hydrophilicity degree of both glass and silicon after few hours. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images show the glass surface roughness is drastically reduced with conditioning film formation. First-layer X. fastidiosa biofilm on glass was observed in the AFM liquid cell after a period of time similar to that determined for the hydrophilicity changes. In addition, attenuation total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy supports the AFM observation, since the PW absorption spectra increases with time showing a stronger contribution from the phosphate groups. Although hydrophobic and rough surfaces are commonly considered to increase bacteria cell attachment, our results suggest that these properties are not as important as the surface functional groups resulting from PW conditioning film formation for X. fastidiosa adhesion and biofilm development.     

Surface modification of plasma‐pretreated expanded poly (tetrafluroethylene) films by graft copolymerization

A two‐step process based on a low‐pressure helium plasma treatment followed by acrylic acid‐grafting copolymerization was used for the surface modification of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) films. The effects of plasma treatment power and treatment time on the hydrophilicity of the film surface were investigated. The wettability of the ePTFE film surface was characterized by water contact angle, and the surface compositions of the untreated and treated ePTFE samples were evaluated by atomic force microscopy and XPS. Contact angle measurements revealed that the hydrophilicity of the ePTFE film surface was greatly enhanced by the combined actions of the plasma treatment and acrylic acid grafting, and the contact angle decreased from 145° to 66°. Atomic force microscopy analyses showed that the surface roughness increased after the plasma treatment. XPS analyses showed substantial increase in the concentration of carbon and oxygen atoms and a decrease in the concentration of fluorine atoms at the film surface. T‐peel strength showed an improved bonding strength between the film and an adhesive tape after the treatment. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Plasma and chromic acid treatments of polycarbonate surface to improve coating–substrate adhesion

The influence of Ar/O₂ plasma activation and chromic acid etching of polycarbonate (PC) surface on the adhesion of coating to substrate was systematically studied by cross‐cut and tape peel methods through temperature‐shock aging tests. The differences between the wettabilities and elemental compositions of plasma‐treated and chromic acid‐treated PC surfaces prior to coating deposition were evaluated by contact angle measurements and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. To elucidate the adhesion failure of the coatings, nanoindentation technique was employed for the quantitative assessment of the nanomechanical changes of coating depositions on PCs after temperature‐shock aging tests. The two surface treatments can significantly improve the hydrophilicity and polarity of the PC surface, resulting in excellent adhesion of the coating on the PC substrate. Temperature‐shock aging tests reveal that the adhesion of coating on plasma‐modified substrates is superior to that of chromic acid‐etched substrates. We propose that the improved adhesion of the coating on the plasma‐modified PC can be attributed to the higher wettability and more cross‐linking of C–O–Si bonds at the coating–substrate interface.

Silver Loading on DBD Plasma-Modified Woven PET Surface for Antimicrobial Property Improvement

In this work, the hydrophilic improvement of a woven PET surface was accomplished by a plasma technique. The woven PET surface was plasma-treated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) under various operating conditions (electrode gap distance, plasma treatment time, input voltage, and input frequency) and various gaseous environments (air, O₂, N₂, and Ar) in order to improve its hydrophilicity. It was experimentally found that a decrease in electrode gap distance and an increase in input voltage increased the electric field strength, leading to higher hydrophilicity of the PET surface characterized by wickability and contact angle measurements. In comparisons among the studied environmental gases, air gave the highest hydrophilicity, being comparable to O₂, while Ar and N₂ gave lower hydrophilicity of the woven PET surface. The optimum conditions for a maximum hydrophilicity of the PET surface were an electrode gap distance of 4 mm, a plasma treatment time of 10 s, an output voltage of 15 kV, and a frequency of 350 Hz under air environment. After the plasma treatment under the obtained optimum conditions, the woven PET was loaded with Ag particles using a AgNO₃ aqueous solution in order to obtain the antimicrobial property. The plasma-treated woven PET loaded with Ag particles exhibited good antimicrobial activity against both E. coli (gram-negative bacteria) and S. aureus (gram-positive bacteria).     

Surface Performance and Cytocompatibility Evaluation of Acrylic Acid-Mediated Carboxymethyl Chitosan Coating on Poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene)

To improve the biocompatibility of poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) film, a technique based on Ar plasma pretreatment and UV-induced grafting polymerization was used to immobilize carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) on the FEP film surfaces. Initially Ar plasma was used to treat FEP film. Then, plasma treated FEP film was modified via UV-induced grafting polymerization with hydrophilic acrylic acid (AAc) monomer. The following immobilization of CMCS on the FEP-pAAc surface was carried out via an amidation reaction. The change of chemical composition and surface morphology of FEP film were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results of water contact angles measurement showed that the hydrophilicity of the surface has improved significantly after surface modification. Furthermore, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and cell morphology analysis confirmed that mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells) attachment and proliferation were improved remarkably on the modified FEP surface. These results suggest that CMCS were successfully employed to surface engineering FEP film, and enhanced its cell biocompatibility. The approach presented here may be exploited for surface modification of biomaterials.     

Plasma surface modification of poly (l-lactic acid) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) films for improvement of nerve cells adhesion

Radio frequency (RF) plasma treatment in O₂ was applied to modify the surface of poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly (d,l-lactic acid-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) as biodegradable polymers. The surface structure, morphology, wettability and surface chemistry of treated films were characterized by water drop contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical invert microscope, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ATIR–FTIR spectroscopy. The cell affinity of the oxygen plasma treated film was evaluated by nervous tissue B65 cell culture in stationary conditions. The results showed that the hydrophilicity increased greatly after O₂ plasma treatment. The results showed that improved cell adhesion was attributed to the combination of surface chemistry and surface wettability during plasma treatment. Cell culture results showed that B65 nervous cell attachment and growth on the plasma treated PLLA was much higher than an unmodified sample and PLGA. Surface hydrophilicity and chemical functional groups with high polar component play an important role in enhancing cell attachment and growth.     

Effect of low-temperature processing on dry film photoresist properties for flexible electronics

This study presents the mechanical characterization of the dry film photoresist PerMX and its adhesion properties when laminated onto Kapton® E (PI) and Melinex® ST506 (PET). Additionally, the processing temperature, the adhesion strength, and the neutral plane position are investigated and optimized. A relatively low-temperature (85 °C) process is developed to protect the integrity of the polymers with low glass transition temperature and reduce the thermal mismatch stress. Reduction in processing temperature led to a decrement in the adhesion strength. To counteract this unwanted effect, surface treatments (oxygen plasma) are performed on the polymer surface before lamination. Using the latter techniques, adhesion of PerMX to PET (hard bake: 1 h at 85 °C) is increased from 0.07 to 0.26 N mm⁻¹ (variation of 270%). Finally, the mechanical robustness is investigated and increased by tuning the position of the neutral plane, after 50,000 bending cycles and a radius of curvature of 2.5 mm. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
