The paper demonstrates that by modifying the surface structure of PET substrates through multi-gas-phase treatment, the adhesion and wetting properties of PLA filament are significantly improved, enabling the production of planar microfluidic devices on them. Experimental results confirm significant changes in the chemical composition and nanorelief of PET substrates' surfaces, affecting the adhesion and wetting properties of the filament and enhancing the functional characteristics of the microfluidic devices.
The paper proposes the material extrusion additive manufacturing (via filament fabrication (FFF)) of planar microfluidics devices on the surface-modified PET-substrates production. The transformation of PET-substrates' morphological structure under the action of a multi-gas-phase modifying mixture significantly improves the wetting and the adhesion of the PLA-filament to them. A significant change in the chemical composition and nanorelief of PET substrates' surfaces as a result of processing with a gas mixture based on helium, nitrogen, fluorine and oxygen is confirmed experimentally by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and fourie-transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). The twelve-fold increase in the adhesion of the filament (measured) and the two-fold difference in the free surface energy values (calculated) for the original and the modified PET-substrates were observed. The functional characteristics' variances were accompanied with an approximately ten-fold increase in the degrees of heterogeneity for the carbon and oxygen concentration distributions and with the two-fold changes in the localization region and the average amplitude of the corresponding morphological spectra. The significant increase in the rate of mass transfer of an isotonic aqueous solution of sodium chloride through the surface microchannels of the constructed planar microfluidics device confirms the considerable changes in wettability of the modified PET substrates' surfaces.
