The polycarbonate film (PC) surface was treated using glow discharge low-pressure air plasma. The modified surface was characterized by contact angle, FTIR, XRD, AFM, and XPS analysis. The surface-modified samples were further investigated using T-peel test for technical applications. The surface energy of the sample was estimated by measuring contact angle. The results show that, after plasma treatment, the root mean square (RMS) roughness of PC film was gradually increased with exposure time. Plasma treatment modified the chemical composition of the polymer surface and it made the surface to be highly hydrophilic. It was found that the air plasma treatment increases the polar component of PC film.

Plasma pretreatment on the top and bond coats was performed and its influence on the thermal durability of thermal barrier coating (TBC) system was investigated through cyclic thermal exposure. Two types of bond coat were prepared by different methods, namely, air plasma spray (APS) and high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF), and two kinds of feedstock powder were employed for preparing the top coat in APS process. The better thermal durability was achieved in the vertically cracked TBC with the surface modified bond coat or with the bond coat prepared by APS process. The hardness and fracture toughness values of TBCs increased because of densification of the top coat during cyclic thermal exposure, and the bond coat prepared by HVOF process showed higher values than that by APS process. The TBCs with the surface modified bond coat were more efficient in improving adhesive strength than those without plasma pretreatment on the bond coat. The relationship between microstructure evolution and thermomechanical characteristics of TBCs with plasma pretreatment was discussed in cyclic thermal exposure.

PET material has excellent performance and its modification of biocompatibility had been concerned for researchers. In this paper, graft polymerization of acrylamide on PET fiber by co-irradiation was investigated, and then treated in 5% available chlorine content of NaClO solution, which make the amide groups on the PET fiber surface into amine groups, and provide the reactive groups for further functional modification. The results showed that the moisture absorption of PET fiber increases after the grafting of acrylamide, and its hygroscopicity increases with the increase of grafting yields; after the amide groups converted into the amine groups, the hygroscopicity of PET fibers decreases. The chemical structure and surface morphology of PET fiber and modified products were characterized by ATR-FTIR and SEM, which certified that acrylamide had been successfully grafted on PET fibers and the amide groups on its surface had been converted into the amine groups.

Surface modified ELISA plates grafted with methylacrylic acid (MAA) were prepared by60Co γ-Ray irradiation at room temperature in MAA water solution. The optimum conditions of modification were decided by the water contact angle and the absorbency of polystyrene enzyme label plate. FTIR, XRD spectra and AFM images show that MAA and its polymer have been grafted to the surface of the ELISA plates induced by60Co γ-Ray irradiation. The volume concentration of MAA aqueous solutions reached 10%, and the radiative intensity was 10kGy, and correspondingly, the content of carboxyl group on the surface of ELISA plates reached 0.30mmol/cm2.


Modification of a membrane surface is critical to help further functional protein binding on the membrane. Mussel inspired modification and metal chelating agent grafting on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is proposed to increase the hydrophilicity, stability, and functionality of the membrane. This study carried out a four steps modification including polymerization of dopamine, grafting with poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI) and metal chelating agent and finally metal (ZnO) coupling. Characterization of the modified membrane was carried out using contact angle observation, permeate flux analysis, FT-IR spectrum and FESEM analysis. The results show a successful PDA and PEI deposition on PVDF membrane with significant improvement of the membrane hydrophilicity and wettability. Permeate flux analysis showed blockage on membrane surface due to the successful coating. Absorption peak increased slightly showing the deposition of PDA/PEI. Successful Zn2+ ion coupling can be seen clearly from the FESEM analysis
