Abstract

The hydrophobic materials were treated by plasma continual treater to achieve its surface modification and improve its wettability. The influences of treating time, discharge power, working gases and gas pressure on the surface modification of the materials have been investigated. The chemical states and species on the surface of materials have been investigated by some technologies such as contact angles. After plasma surface treatment, the contact angles of PTFE sharply decrease, and the alkali liquid absorption of PE increased to three times of its weight. The contact angles of silicon rubber and polyester decreased remarkably after surface modification. PTFE films were grafted with crylic acid to evaluate the ageing. The effect of vacuum ultraviolet radiation to surface modification was initially described. The results of experiment demonstrate that the better wettability of hydrophobic material can be achieved. The technique and the equipment have the promotional value for industrial application.
