Summary of Practice4.1 This practice identifies and defines several electricaldischarge treatment technologies for surface modification ofpolymers. The

23、 practice outlines essential technical aspects ofeach technology.5. Significance and Use5.1 Bonding of many polymeric substrates presents a prob-lem due to the low wettability of their surfaces and theirchemical inertness. Adhesive bond formation begins with theestablishment of interfacial molecular

24、 contact by wetting.Wettability of a substrate surface depends on its surface energy.The surface activation with electrical discharges improveswettability of polymers and subsequent adhesive bonding. Thesurface activation with electrical discharges results in additionof polar functional groups on th

25、e polymer surface. The higherthe concentration of polar functional groups on the surface themore actively the surface reacts with 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-

26、treated surfaces are ready for application of theadhesive immediately after the treatment.6. Hazards6.1 OzoneOzone is a by-product of the electrical dis-charge in atmospheric-pressure air. The ozone produced duringthe treatment can be vented into external atmosphere wheredilution and subsequent brea

27、kdown will occur. If the ozonecannot be vented out, the station should be equipped with anexhaust hood and activated carbon filter or manganese dioxidecatalyst.6.2 Electrical Hazard: WarningThe users of these prac-tices must be aware that there are inherent dangers associatedwith the use of electric

28、al instrumentation and that thesepractices cannot and will not substitute for a practical knowl-edge of the instrument used for a particular surface preparation.6.3 Radio Frequency: WarningPersons with pacemakersmay be affected by the radio frequency.6.4 Electrical discharge treatments produce no vo

29、latile or-ganic compound (VOC) emissions.7. Procedure - General7.1 Surface CleanlinessThe surface must be clean prior tosubmitting the specimen to any of the treatment processes.Potential surface contaminants include the following: addi-tives, handling residue (fingerprints), mold release, machineoi

30、l, and grease.7.1.1 Techniques for Cleaning SurfaceUse a technique forcleaning the surface appropriate for the substrate. If no othercleaning method is specified, use a solvent wipe with isopropylalcohol and clean, low lint cloth or wipes.7.2 Selection of Appropriate Electrical DischargeTreatmentWhe

31、n making a choice the following factors mustbe considered:7.2.1 Necessary treatment level,7.2.2 Treatment speed,7.2.3 Treated parts 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 Surfa

32、ce TreatmentSurfacetreatment with electrical discharges involves, in general, ap-plying the discharge, and the plasma generated in the dis-charge, to the surface to be treated.7.4 Procedure for Determining Effcacy of Treatment:7.4.1 Water Break Test, Guide D2651, Section 5.5.4. Awater-break test is

33、a common method used to analyze surfacecleanliness. This test depends on the observation that a cleansurface (one that is chemically 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

34、 indicates a soiled or contaminated area.D6105 04 (2012)2Distilled water should be used in the test, and a drainage timeof about 30 s should be allowed.7.4.2 Water Contact Angle Determination, Test MethodD724 and Test Method D5946. This is the most precise methodto evaluate surfaces. The contact ang

35、le data can be easily usedfor statistical analysis and statistical process control. Performthe test on enough of the treated area to assess treatmentuniformity.7.4.3 Dyne Solution Method for Wetting TensionThis testmethod is based on Test Method D2578. When applied to othermaterials, or shaped items

36、, it may produce erroneous results.The results from this method are approximations and should beused with caution.7.5 Shelf Life of Treated SurfacesShelf life of treatedpolymers is determined by the treatment level decay from thesurface energy level achieved in the treatment below a prede-termined v

37、alue. Use techniques described in 7.4 to determinethe treatment level decay.7.5.1 In general, surface energy rapidly decreases immedi-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

38、 on the plastic, itsformation, how it was treated, and the ambient environment ofthe storage area. It is recommended to do the adhesive 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) a

39、re generated in a plasma reactor chamber. This is apressure vessel designed to support the pressure/flow condi-tions of the plasma. The 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

40、 common are radio frequency plasmas (13.56 MHz, anFCC assigned frequency) and microwave plasma (2450 Mhz)and less common are lower frequency 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

41、. Electrical Discharge Treatment at AtmosphericPressure9.1 AC Dielectric Barrier DischargeIn the AC dielectricbarrier discharge apparatus the discharge is generated betweentwo electrodes located on opposite sides of the treated surface.One or both electrodes is insulated. The treated part itself can

42、serve as an insulator. There are two types of the AC dielectricbarrier discharge apparatus, the high frequency apparatus andthe suppressed spark apparatus.9.1.1 High Frequency ApparatusThe typical apparatusconsists of a high-frequency power generator and high voltagetransformer(s). Each generator/tr

43、ansformer(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 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 th

44、ey are posi-tioned and continuously moving through the discharge regionbetween the electrodes.9.1.1.4 Larger specimens, such as an automotive 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 sub

45、jected to the discharge from an array ofelectrodes.9.1.1.5 The typical distance between the discharge elec-trode(s) and the treated surface 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

46、/min), and depends on the number ofelectrodes, their geometry and distance to the treated surface.9.1.1.7 High frequency apparatus can be effectively used totreat conductive polymers by using insulated electrodes and thetreated surface as a second electrode.9.1.2 Suppressed Spark ApparatusIn a suppr

47、essed arcapparatus discharge is generated between two insulated elec-trodes maintained at a very high potential of 50 to 60 Hz. Thestrong 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.

48、1 ApparatusA typical suppressed spark apparatushas a tunnel-type treating area with a pair of metal electrodesmounted one against the 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 treat

49、ing 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.9.1.2.4 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 ApparatusAplume of plasma is generatedby blowing air thro
