Pt-WO3/C电极表面活化对乙二醇和CO氧化的作用

用丙酮和四氢呋喃混合溶液对Pt—WO3/C电极进行表面活化处理后，乙二醇在Pt—WO3/C电极上的电催化氧化活性大幅度提高．发现无论在中性溶液中还是在酸性溶液中，表面活化处理后的Pt—WO3/C电极，乙二醇的起始氧化电位负移，氧化峰电流在酸性介质中增加到表面活化处理前的3．2倍：中性介质中增加到表面处理前的4．7倍，其主要原因是表面活化处理后，一方面增加了催化剂Pt的活性表面，另一方面也促进了电极表面吸附的CO的电氧化，减少了CO对电极表面的毒化作用．

氢终止金刚石表面的形成机理

为考察金刚石形成氢终止表面的反应机制,采用微波氢等离子体处理以及电阻丝氢气气氛加热处理进行对比研究.利用光发射谱(OES)和漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(DRIFTS)分别表征了微波氢等离子体中的活性基团和金刚石表面氢终止浓度.结果表明,微波氢等离子体环境下,随着衬底温度、等离子体密度和能量的增加,温度至700 ℃ (800 W/3 kPa)时,等离子体中出现了明显的CH基团;相应地,金刚石表面氢终止浓度随温度、等离子体密度和能量的增加而增加.采用氢气气氛下电阻丝加热的方法同样形成了氢终止金刚石表面,表明微波等离子体处理金刚石表面形成氢终止主要源于由温度控制的表面化学反应,而非等离子体的物理刻蚀作用.氧终止金刚石表面形成氢终止的机制是表面C=O键在高于500 ℃时分解为CO,相应的悬挂键由氢原子或氢分子占据.     

Surface characteristic of poly(p‐phenylene terephthalamide) fibers with oxygen plasma treatment

Oxygen plasma is widely employed for modification of polymer surfaces. Plasma treatment process is a convenient procedure that is also environmentally friendly. This study reports the effects of oxygen plasma treatment on the surface properties of poly(p‐phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) fibers. The surface characteristics before and after oxygen plasma treatment were analyzed by XPS, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic contact angle analysis (DCAA). It was found that oxygen plasma treatment introduced some new polar groups (O? C?O) on the fiber surface, increased the fiber surface roughness and changed the surface morphologies obviously by plasma etching and oxidative reactions. It is also shown that the fiber surface wettability was improved significantly by oxygen plasma treatment. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Examination of the electrochemical reactivity of screen printed carbon electrode treated by radio-frequency argon plasma

The surface of screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with partially blocked surface was treated by argon plasma in order to improve their electrochemical performances. The argon plasma was generated by a radio-frequency electrical discharge at low pressure. Study of the electrode surface by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) has revealed a significant change of the morphology of the SPCE surface after plasma pre-treatment. The electrochemical reactivity of the SPCEs was characterized using cyclic voltammetry. A drastic enhancement of the SPCEs electrochemical reactivity was highlighted after plasma pre-treatment. The effect of biasing the SPCE surface during the plasma treatment has been investigated and showed that depending on the nature of plasma treatment, the same electrode could show a radial or planar diffusion.     

Use of Plasma Technologies for Antibacterial Surface Properties of Metals

Bacterial infections of medical devices present severe problems connected with long-term antibiotic treatment, implant failure, and high hospital costs. Therefore, there are enormous demands for innovative techniques which would improve the surface properties of implantable materials. Plasma technologies present one of the compelling ways to improve metal’s antibacterial activity; plasma treatment can significantly alter metal surfaces’ physicochemical properties, such as surface chemistry, roughness, wettability, surface charge, and crystallinity, which all play an important role in the biological response of medical materials. Herein, the most common plasma treatment techniques like plasma spraying, plasma immersion ion implantation, plasma vapor deposition, and plasma electrolytic oxidation as well as novel approaches based on gaseous plasma treatment of surfaces are gathered and presented. The latest results of different surface modification approaches and their influence on metals’ antibacterial surface properties are presented and critically discussed. The mechanisms involved in bactericidal effects of plasma-treated surfaces are discussed and novel results of surface modification of metal materials by highly reactive oxygen plasma are presented.     

Plasma Surface Modification of Biomedical Polymers: Influence on Cell-Material Interaction

Polymers are commonly used in industry because of their excellent bulk properties, such as strength and good resistance to chemicals. Their surface properties are for most application inadequate due to their low surface energy. A surface modification is often needed, and plasma surface modification is used with success the past decades. In the past few years, also plasma surface modification for biomedical polymers has been investigated. For biomedical polymers, the surface properties need to be altered to promote a good cell adhesion, growth and proliferation and to make them suitable for implants and tissue engineering scaffolds. This review gives an overview of the use of plasma surface modification of biomedical polymers and the influence on cell-material interactions. First, an introduction on cell-material interaction and on antibacterial and antifouling surfaces will be given. Also, different plasma modifying techniques used for polymer surface modification will be discussed. Then, an overview of literature on plasma surface modification of biopolymers and the resulting influence on cell-material interaction will be given. After an overview of plasma treatment for improved cell-material interaction, plasma polymerization and plasma grafting techniques will be discussed. Some more specialized applications will be also presented: the treatment of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering and the spatial control of cell adhesion. Antibacterial and antifouling properties, obtained by plasma techniques, will be discussed. An overview of research dealing with antibacterial surfaces created by plasma techniques will be given, antifouling surfaces will be discussed, and how blood compatibility can be improved by preventing protein adhesion.     

Optical emission from tetrafluoromethane plasma and its relationship to surface modification of hexatriacontane

The optical emission from tetrafluoromethane plasma (2% argon included) has been studied by emission spectroscopy. The evolution ofCF ^*,CF ₂ ^* , andF emissions has been followed during the treatment of an organic surface. An-alkane, hexatriacontane, has been used as a model for high density polyethylene surface and treated in different plasma conditions. We found that the evolution of fluorinated species emissions in the plasma gas phase is not only a measurement of the reactive species concentrations, but also an indication of the surface modifications. The surface properties, such as surface energy and surface roughness are correlated to the emission intensity of reactives species in the plasma gas phase. A mild exposure to the plasma can result in a great decrease of surface energy corresponding to the fluorination. The surface roughness only changes under drastic plasma conditions.     

Plasma Treatment of Polymers

Abstract

Plasma treatment of polymers encompasses a variety of plasma technologies and polymeric materials for a wide range of applications and dates back to at least the 1960s. In this article we provide a brief review of the United States patent literature on plasma surface modification technologies and a brief review of the scientific literature on investigations of the effects of plasma treatment, the nature of the plasma environment, and the mechanisms that drive the plasma–surface interaction. We then discuss low‐radio‐frequency capacitively coupled nitrogen plasmas and their characteristics, suggesting that they provide significant plasma densities and populations of reactive species for effective plasma treatments on a variety of materials, particularly when placing the sample surface in the cathode sheath region. We further discuss surface chemical characterization of treated polymers, including some results on polyesters treated in capacitively coupled nitrogen plasmas driven at 40 kHz. Finally, we connect plasma characterization with surface chemical analysis by applying a surface sites model to nitrogen uptake of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) treated in a 40 kHz nitrogen plasma. This example serves to suggest an interesting practical approach to comparisons of plasma treatments. In addition, it suggests an approach to defining the investigations required to conclusively identify the underlying treatment mechanisms.
