AbstractThis paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the plasma surface modification of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer and PMMA composites with a [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester fullerene derivative (PC61BM). An atmospheric pressure microwave (2.45 GHz) argon plasma sheet was used. The experimental parameters were: an argon (Ar) flow rate (up to 20 NL/min), microwave power (up to 530 W), number of plasma scans (up to 3) and, the kind of treated material. In order to assess the plasma effect, the possible changes in the wettability, roughness, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of the plasma-treated samples’ surfaces were evaluated by water contact angle goniometry (WCA), atomic force microscopy (AFM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The best result concerning the water contact angle reduction was from 83° to 29.7° for the PMMA material. The ageing studies of the PMMA plasma-modified surface showed long term (100 h) improved wettability. As a result of plasma treating, changes in the samples surface roughness parameters were observed, however their dependence on the number of plasma scans is irregular. The ATR-FTIR spectra of the PMMA plasma-treated surfaces showed only slight changes in comparison with the spectra of an untreated sample. The more significant differences were demonstrated by XPS measurements indicating the surface chemical composition changes after plasma treatment and revealing the oxygen to carbon ratio increase from 0.1 to 0.4.

Piezoelectric Ceramic Transformer

In order to obtain stable cold plasma jet under atmospheric pressure condition, we designed a high-voltage DC power supply based on the principle of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic transformer (MPT). At the same time, we developed a cold plasma jet device that its shape is similar to the gun structure. The total weight of device, including the power supply and the generator, is less than 500 g. In the experiments of argon plasma under atmospheric pressure, current–voltage measurements show that the discharge actually appears periodically pulsed with a frequency of about 30 kHz. The discharge current has a pulse-width that is about 100 ns, while its peak value reaches about 32 mA. The maximum length of the plasma is about 3 cm. The further study showed that the discharge current pulse frequency is determined by the ion drift mechanism.
