TECHNOLOGY FOR NANOFIBER’S SUBSTRATES ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE PLASMA TREATMENT

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Nanofiber membranes are made of synthetic polymers mainly by electrospinning technology. Thanks to their unique properties, high filtration efficiency, great free surface combined with good breathability, nanofiber materials are directly destined for filtration applications and come to the forefront of industrial interest [1]. The recent COVID-19 pandemic, which globally started the mass production of cheap protective devices capable of trapping virus particles, also played a significant role in the commercial spreading of nanofiber-based filters [2]. The nanofibers fabricated in a thin layer are very fine materials and cannot be easily handled. Design and manufacturing of the advanced nanofiber-based filters urgently require new environment-friendly and cost-effective surface treatments without using organic solvents and caustic solutions. To address this need, as an alternative, the atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment offers to be used for surface activation of polymer textile materials serving as a substrate for electrospun nanofiber. Nanofiber carriers were pre-treated by dielectric barrier discharge in continuous mode to improve the adhesion between the produced nanofibers and substrate. Two peeling tests confirmed the increased adhesive forces of the carrier substrate. The robust and effective atmospheric pressure DCSBD technology, primarily developed and optimized for the plasma treatment of textile and fibrous material, can be easily implemented in the industrial production lines predetermines this technology for in-line a large throughput manufacturing of advanced nanofiber-based filters.
