4 4 TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND Technological background Corona treatment: electrical field of high frequency/voltage through the substrate Result: High energy electrical discharges activate the surface. - Fixed gas composition (air) - Inhomogeneity of the treatment Research targets - The electrical field is applied through the substrate -> Limitations to the substrate thickness and quality. AP (atmospheric plasma) treatment: Ionized gas & radicals + potentially other active components are separately produced and "extruded" Result: Continuous flow of ionized gas on surface. + High capacity, suitability for in-line process. + Higher durability + Possibility for coating + Tailored activation (N/O ratio, hydrophilicity, -phobicity) + No breakdowns through sample

21 21 Results t During project TUT/FMS studied plasma-assisted polymer coating of cardboards. t Plasma treatment changed the contact angles of the cardboard regardless of the order of the treatments. 70 Contact Angle of Ethylene Glycoll No Plasma pat ppt ppt and pat Ref. A B C A, B and C are samples with different kind of PVA coatings having coating weight < 0.5 g/m 2. Plasma was used as pre-treatment (ppt) and after-treatment (pat).
22 22 : Fibre Materials t Another theme of project was plasma treatments of nonwoven fabrics with corona and different plasmas including He, N 2 and Ar. t Plasma penetrated into porous structure of nonwoven materials and its effects could be seen in deeper layers than just on surface. This is studied in Plastek2. t Contact angle measurement results of nonwoven materials were inconsistent, probably due to the porosity of the samples and too high hydrophilicity. Different methods for evaluation the effect of plasma will be used in Plastek2.
23 23 2: Fibre materials Study of plasma penetration Two polypropylene (PP) nonwoven samples: A with hydrophilic surface treatment, 23 g/m 2 B without surface treatments, 45 g/m 2 Plasma (Argon and Helium) and corona treatments were performed in atmospheric pilot line of TUT/Paper Converting to layered samples attached onto LDPE-base Contact angles were measured from the base material (LDPE surface) onto which the layered samples were attached, and also from B samples Capillary rise method to evaluate the effect of plasma on nonwoven materials.
24 24 2: Fibre materials Plasma penetrated through the nonwoven layers and the presence of nonwoven even increased the effect of plasma. Potential explanations: - Plasma may partially transfer e.g. the hydrophilic coating from the nonwoven to PE surface - Nonwoven sample may retain plasma gas longer in the vicinity of the surface. Water contact angles of untreated PE base (Ref), PE base treated using Argon plasma without sample cover (0) and with different amount of layers (1L-3L) of nonwoven samples (A and B).
25 25 2: Fibre materials Capillary rise test showed that the effect of plasma was strongest in the uppermost layers of the nonwoven samples and the effect was decreased with amount of layers. Capillary rise after 60 s of untreated and Argon plasma treated layered samples of nonwoven A. Other activities of Plastek2 in TUT/FMS will include e.g. the study of heterogenic nature of the sample and plasma-aided hydrophobic treatments of nonwoven materials.
