The practice outlines essential technical aspects ofeach technology.5. Significance and Use5.1 Bonding of many polymeric substrates

23、presents a prob-lem due to the low wettability of their surfaces and theirchemical inertness. Adhesive bond formation begins with theestablishment of interfacial molecular contact by wetting.Wettability of a substrate surface depends on its surface energy.The surface activation with electrical disch

24、arges improveswettability of polymers and subsequent adhesive bonding. Thesurface activation with electrical discharges results in additionof polar functional groups on the polymer surface. The higherthe concentration of polar functional groups on the surface themore actively the surface reacts with

25、 the different polarinterfaces.5.2 To achieve a proper adhesive bond the polyolefinsubstrates polar component should be raised from near zero to15 to 20 mJ/m2.5.3 The pre-treated surfaces are ready for application of theadhesive immediately after the treatment.6. Hazards6.1 OzoneOzone is a by-produc

If the ozonecannot be vented out, the station should be equipped with anexhaust hood and activated carbon filte

28、 particular surface preparation.6.3 Radio Frequency: WarningPersons with pacemakersmay be affected by the radio frequency.6.4 Electrical discharge treatments produce no volatile or-ganic compound (VOC) emissions.7. Procedure - General7.1 Surface CleanlinessThe surface must be clean prior tosubmittin

29、g the specimen to any of the treatment processes.Potential surface contaminants include the following: addi-tives, handling residue (fingerprints), mold release, machineoil, and grease.7.1.1 Techniques for Cleaning SurfaceUse a technique forcleaning the surface appropriate for the substrate. If no o

30、thercleaning method is specified, use a solvent wipe with isopropylalcohol and clean, low lint cloth or wipes.7.2 Selection of Appropriate Electrical DischargeTreatmentWhen making a choice the following factors mustbe considered:7.2.1 Necessary treatment level,7.2.2 Treatment speed,7.2.3 Treated par

31、ts shape and size,7.2.4 Process type - continuous, batch, etc, and7.2.5 Economics.Consult the attribute chart in Appendix X1 for comparison.7.3 Procedure for Polymer Surface TreatmentSurfacetreatment with electrical discharges involves, in general, ap-plying the discharge, and the plasma generated i

32、n the dis-charge, to the surface to be treated.7.4 Procedure for Determining Effcacy of Treatment:7.4.1 Water Break Test, Guide D 2651, Section 5.5.4. Awater-break test is a common method used to analyze surfacecleanliness. This test depends on the observation that a cleansurface (one that is chemic

33、ally active or polar) will hold acontinuous film of water, rather than a series of isolateddroplets. This is known as a water-break-free condition. Abreak in the water film indicates a soiled or contaminated area.D6105042Distilled water should be used in the test, and a drainage timeof about 30 s sh

34、ould be allowed.7.4.2 Water Contact Angle Determination, Test MethodD 724 and Test Method D 5946. This is the most precisemethod to evaluate surfaces. The contact angle data can beeasily used for statistical analysis and statistical processcontrol. Perform the test on enough of the treated area to a

35、ssesstreatment uniformity.7.4.3 Dyne Solution Method for Wetting TensionThis testmethod is based on Test Method D 2578. When applied toother materials, or shaped items, it may produce erroneousresults. The results from this method are approximations andshould be used with caution.7.5 Shelf Life of T

36、reated SurfacesShelf life of treatedpolymers is determined by the treatment level decay from thesurface energy level achieved in the treatment below a prede-termined value. Use techniques described in 7.4 to determinethe treatment level decay.7.5.1 In general, surface energy rapidly decreases immedi

37、-ately after the treatment and then stabilizes at a level which ishigher than the initial surface energy. The treatment shelf liferanges from hours to years, depending on the plastic, itsformation, how it was treated, and the ambient environment ofthe storage area. It is recommended to do the adhesi

38、ve bondingoperation of the treated material soon after treatment.8. Plasma Treatment at Reduced Pressure8.1 Plasmas at reduced pressure 13.3 to 133 Pa (0.1 to 1torr) are generated in a plasma reactor chamber. This is apressure vessel designed to support the pressure/flow condi-tions of the plasma. T

39、he material for processing is placed in thechamber and a necessary degree of vacuum is established. Asource of high-frequency energy is coupled to the reactor. Themost common are radio frequency plasmas (13.56 MHz, anFCC assigned frequency) and microwave plasma (2450 Mhz)and less common are lower fr

40、equency range devices (60 Hzand 20 to 100 kHz). The plasma fills the whole chamber,resulting in a three-dimensional treatment of the objects placedinside the chamber.9. Electrical Discharge Treatment at AtmosphericPressure9.1 AC Dielectric Barrier DischargeIn the AC dielectricbarrier discharge appar

41、atus the discharge is generated betweentwo electrodes located on opposite sides of the treated surface.One or both electrodes is insulated. The treated part itself canserve as an insulator. There are two types of the AC dielectricbarrier discharge apparatus, the high frequency apparatus andthe suppr

42、essed spark apparatus.9.1.1 High Frequency ApparatusThe typical apparatusconsists of a high-frequency power generator and high voltagetransformer(s). Each generator/transformer(s) set is capable ofsupporting multiple discharge electrodes.9.1.1.1 Voltage in the 10 000 to 70 000 V range at 20 to 30kHz

43、 is used.9.1.1.2 The treatment width depends on the size of thedischarge electrode and can range from 1 to 1000 mm andmore.9.1.1.3 Small specimens can be treated as they are posi-tioned and continuously moving through the discharge regionbetween the electrodes.9.1.1.4 Larger specimens, such as an au

44、tomotive bodypanel, can be treated by placing it on an electrode fixture whichis formed in the same shape as the inner surface of the part. Thetreated part is then subjected to the discharge from an array ofelectrodes.9.1.1.5 The typical distance between the discharge elec-trode(s) and the treated s

45、urface ranges between 2 to 50 mm,and depends on the applied voltage and electrode geometry.9.1.1.6 The typical treatment speed ranges from 1.7 to 42 3102m/s (1 to 25 m/min), and depends on the number ofelectrodes, their geometry and distance to the treated surface.9.1.1.7 High frequency apparatus ca

46、n be effectively used totreat conductive polymers by using insulated electrodes and thetreated surface as a second electrode.9.1.2 Suppressed Spark ApparatusIn a suppressed arcapparatus discharge is generated between two insulated elec-trodes maintained at a very high potential of 50 to 60 Hz. Thest

47、rong electrical field in the air gap generates a plasma regionwhile a spark breakdown in the air gap is quenched by adielectric insulation on electrode surfaces.9.1.2.1 ApparatusA typical suppressed spark apparatushas a tunnel-type treating area with a pair of metal electrodesmounted one against the

48、 other on each side of the treatingchamber. The conveyor belt made of a dielectric materialtravels at a slow speed 8.3 to 50 3 103m/s (0.5 to 3 m/min)through the treating area.9.1.2.2 Objects to be treated are placed on the conveyor belt.9.1.2.3 Maximum distance between the electrodes is 400mm.9.1.2

49、.4 The treatment width is determined by the distancebetween the electrodes.9.1.2.5 The potential difference between the two electrodesreaches 200 000 V at 60 Hz. This voltage produces an electricfield capable of breaking a large air gap between the electrodes.The electrodes are covered with insulating layers which helpsuppress the spark formation.9.2 Arc Plasma ApparatusA plume of plasma is generatedby blowing air through an electrical arc between two metalelectrodes. This plume is directed onto the surface to betreated.9.2.1 ApparatusA typical appa
