Combined atmospheric pressure plasma and UV surface functionalisation and diagnostics of nylon 6.6 fabrics

B. T. Weclawski et al.

Summary: This study aimed to functionalize and characterize the surface of nylon 6.6 fabrics through a novel atmospheric cold plasma coupled with ultraviolet excimer laser treatment. The treatment did not physically degrade the fibers, but induced changes in surface chemistry by generating additional functional groups. Analysis of these chemical surface changes required a new low-temperature diagnostic dyeing method, compared with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Radicals were proposed as the mechanisms for these surface changes, with their characteristics depending on the atmosphere type and plasma power used. Radical production was confirmed using radical scavengers and spectroscopic analysis.

Effects of Water and Chemical Solutions Ageing on the Physical, Mechanical, Thermal and Flammability Properties of Natural Fibre-Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

Baljinder K. Kandola et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of water and chemical solutions aging on natural fiber-reinforced polypropylene and poly(lactic acid) composites. The results showed that water and salt water solutions affected water uptake and mechanical properties, while acidic and alkali solutions had minor effects on mechanical properties. PLA composites were more affected due to their hydrolytic sensitivity. Ageing did not adversely affect the flammability of the composites.
