Ultra High Molecular Weight

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were treated by low temperature oxygen-plasma. The effects of oxygen-plasma treatment time on the properties of UHMWPE have been investigated. The wetting ability and roughness were increased significantly after the treatment. While, the tensile strength at break of UHMWE fibers were decreased with the treatment time. The optimum plasma treatment time is 2min.

Uhmwpe Fibers

Abstract The surface area change of UHMWPE fibers which underwent oxygen plasma treatment was measured as a function of plasma power and plasma treatment time. The interfacial adhesion of oxygen plasma treated UHMWPE fibers was evaluated via micro-droplet test and double cantilever beam test Surface area increased with plasma treatment time at 30 and 60W, but showed a maximum at 100 and 150W. The interfacial adhesion of UHMWPE fibers to vinylester resin exhibited the same trend as the surface area. SEM analysis revealed that oxygen plasma treatment roughened UHMWPE fibers by forming micro-pores leading to increased surface area. However, 1S0W plasma treatment led to degradation of the fibers and thus resulted in failure within the fiber surface layers, producing ribbon-like strips of fiber.

Semiconducting Behavior

ABSTRACTWe investigate the structural, optical and electrical properties of single-layer graphene exposed to oxygen plasma treatment. We find that the pristine semimetallic behavior of graphene disappears upon plasma treatment, in favour of the opening of a bandgap and the featuring of semiconducting properties. The metal-to-semiconductor transition observed appears to be dependent on the plasma treatment time. The semiconducting behavior is also confirmed by photoluminescence measurements. The opening of a bandgap in graphene is explained in terms of graphene surface functionalization with oxygen atoms, bonded as epoxy groups. Ab initio calculations of the density of states show more details about the oxygen–graphene interaction and its effects on the graphene optoelectronic properties, predicting no states near the Fermi level at increasing epoxy group density. The structural changes are also monitored by Raman spectroscopy, showing the progressive evolution of the sp2 character of pristine graphene to sp3, due to the lattice decoration with out-of-plane epoxy groups.

ABSTRACTOxygen plasma treatment was performed on the excimer laser annealed poly-Si surface, followed by gate oxide deposition with low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) in order to control the threshold voltage of excimer laser annealed poly-Si thin film transistors (TFTs).Threshold voltages of n-channel TFTs increase from 0.4 to 2.8 V by varying the treatment time from 0 to 7 min. It is shown the effective charge density increased toward negative direction with increase of the treatment time.In addition to the increase of threshold voltage, the oxygen plasma treatment on the Si surface led to an increase in the deposition rate of LPCVD oxide films with an apparent reduction of carbon around the interface between gate insulator and poly-Si film after oxygen plasma treatment.

Armos fiber (F-12 aramid fiber in paper) was provided with broad application foreground as reinforcement material for advanced composites in aviation and spaceflight field, due to its outstanding properties, such as high modulus, high strength, high temperature resistance, erosion resistance and so on. However, the exertion of property was still limited by slippery surface, low surface energy and weak interfacial adhesion performance. In this study, the effects of oxygen plasma treatment time on polar functional groups introduced onto the fiber surface, surface free energy and surface topographic images were discussed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, dynamic contact angle analysis system (DCA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. It was found that the content of oxygen element and polar functional groups on fiber surface were all increased obviously after oxygen plasma treatment. The content of oxygen element on surface for untreated F-12 aramid fiber was 11.13%, while it increased to 15.20% after oxygen plasma treatment for 10 min; The content of polar functional groups on surface for untreated F-12 aramid fiber was 28.14%, while it increased to 38.11% after oxygen plasma treatment for 10 min. The polar component (γp) of fiber surface energy increased sharply from 6.82 mN/m to 36.68 mN/m after 10 min plasma treatment, the total surface free energy was increased from 46.26 mN/m to 64.66 mN/m.The results indicated that oxygen plasma treatment had introduced a large amount of reactive functional groups onto the fiber surface, and these groups can form together as covalent bonding to improve the surface wettability and increase the surface energy of fibers. At the same time, oxygen plasma treatment was able to generate a mass of bulges and grooves on F-12 aramid fiber surface, which had an active effect on increasing the chemical bond and mechanical function between fiber and resin and enhancing the interfacial adhesion performance of composite. The fiber surface grooves had been increased with the time prolonging before 10 min while decreased after 10 min, the results maybe relate to partial organic on fiber surface melting. It had an adverse effect on the interfacial adhesion properties of composite. Therefore, the optimum plasma treatment time was between 5 min and 10 min.

As a conventional electrode material of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC), activated carbon (AC) still faces challenges to exhibit high capacitance. To address this problem, herein, we introduce a combined method of oxygen plasma and Al2O3 tomic layer deposition (ALD) on AC electrodes to reduce the impedance and improve the cycle stability of EDLC. The defect structure can be precisely designed by simply tuning the oxygen-plasma treatment time, thereby affecting the microstructures of AC electrode. Such a tactic permits the first-operated AC electrode with more defects and the ALD passivation of AC resulting in an outstanding rate performance for the device (40.6 F g–1 at 5 mA cm–2, 20.1 Fg–1 at 100 mA cm–2) and cycling stability (∼90% retention after 5,000 cycles). This benefit from the synergistic effect of defects from doped oxygen and stable aluminum oxide layer on the electrode surface. This work delivers a feasible strategy to construct a stable AC material with superior cycling performance for supercapacitor.
