Abstract

Although polypropylene (PP) possesses good mechanical and chemical properties and atmospheric resistance, its use has been restricted in various applications owing to its low surface energy. The interest in plasma activation of PP surfaces has increased in the automotive industry for the recent years, since it can improve the wettability. In this study, the effects of different scanning velocites on PP surface by the atmospheric plasma surface activation treatment are studied and surface energycan be increased from 28mN/m to 72mN/m. These results are very important for painting and adhesion properties.

Özet

Polipropilen’nin yüksek mekanik ve kimyasal özelliklerine, atmosfer direncine rağmen çeşitli uygulamalarda düşük yüzey enerjisi nedeniyle kullanımı sınırlanmaktadır. Yüzey ıslatma kabiliyetinin geliştirilmesi ile birlikte PP yüzeylerinde plazma aktivasyon işlemlerine olan ilgi otomotiv endüstrisinde son yıllarda önemli ölçüde artış neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, atmosferik plazma yüzey aktivasyon işlemi ile farklı tarama hızlarının PP yüzey enerji ve ıslatma kabiliyetine etkilerini incelenmiş ve yüzey enerjisi 28mN/m’den 72mN/m seviyesine çıkarılabilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar yapışma ve boyama özellikleri açısından oldukça önemlidir.
