Conveyor belt production requires good adhesion between coating layer and fabrics. Adhesion is important for good mechanical properties of belts. Silicone rubber has gained importance in food carrying because it is harmless when being in contact with food materials. The aim of this study is to enhance the problematic adhesion properties between polyester fabrics and silicone rubber coating by plasma treatment. The fabrics are modified by air or argon RF plasmas under different power and time conditions. Influence of plasma parameters was investigated by adhesion strength tests. To investigate changes on adhesion, wettability measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed untreated and plasma treated polyester fabrics. After plasma treatments, the coating adhesion between fabric and coating polymer was increased approximately for 4.6 times for argon and 4.3 times for air plasmas.

This Research Is to Study the High Strength Polyester Fabric Pre-treatment by Oxygen Plasma and Far-infrared, in the Rfl Chemical Solid Composition and Methylenediphenylisocyanate Concentration of 4% for Adding. Analysis Adhesion Strength between Fabric to Fabric and Fabric to Rubber of the Conveyor Belt, and the Effect of Pet Fabric Mechanical Properties. from the Result, the Best Treatment Condition Is Oxygen Plasma Treated 1min 120w and Add 4% Methylenediphenylisocyanate(mdi). in the Adhesion Strength of Fabric and Fabric Layer Compared with the Untreated Has Raised up to 21.5kgf (25.0%), and Fabric and Rubber Layer Has Raised up to 23.7kgf (55.9%). Heating 20 Seconds, after Stop 10 Seconds and then Heat 20 Seconds and Add 4% Methylenediphenylisocyanate(mdi) Fabric-fabric Adhesion Strength Is 13.4 Kgf, Fabric-rubber Adhesion Strength Is 15.8 Kgf, Fabric-fabric and Fabric-rubber Adhesion Strength that Improve 24.1%, 43.6%.

Alumina is a widely used ceramic material due to its high hardness, wear resistance and dielectric properties. The study of phase transformation and its correlation to the mechanical properties of alumina is essential. In this study, interfacial adhesion properties of alumina thin films are studied using cross-sectional nanoindentation (CSN) technique. Alumina thin films are deposited at 200 and 700 °C, on Si (100) substrates with a weak Silica interface, using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. Effect of annealing on the surface morphology of the thin films is studied using atomic force microscopy. Xray diffraction studies revealed that alumina thin films are amorphous in nature at 200 °C and polycrystalline with predominant gamma alumina phase at 700 °C.
