A cold plasma prototype electrode discharge apparatus to perform polymer surface treatment is described. The plasma generator, operating with oxygen and/or nitrogen, works in glow regime at low pressure (10 mbar) and at relatively high gas flow rate, in the 110-340 1/h range. The effects of treatments on PET monopolyester and glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) surfaces are analysed. The treatment points out, in all operating conditions, an increase of both wettability (PET) and adhesivity (GFRP). The treatment times obtained are one order of magnitude lower than those of the traditional treatment apparatus.

Abstract
A cold plasma prototype electrode discharge apparatus to perform polymer surface treatment is described. The plasma generator, operating with oxygen and/or nitrogen, works in glow regime at low pressure (10 mbar) and at relatively high gas flow rate, in the 110-340 1/h range. The effects of treatments on PET monopolyester and glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) surfaces are analysed. The treatment points out, in all operating conditions, an increase of both wettability (PET) and adhesivity (GFRP). The treatment times obtained are one order of magnitude lower than those of the traditional treatment apparatus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
