The Effect of Normal Pressure Air Plasma Treatment on the Hydrophilicity of PPS Fiber

摘要

Because of the hydrophobicity of PPS fiber, we used normal pressure air plasma treatment on PPS fiber with the rusult that the PPS fiber was modied and its hydrophilicity was improved effectively. The surface of PPS fiber was etched under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation. With the power and the time increasing, the water absorption of PPS fiber increased first and then decreased. However, to the breaking strength of PPS fiber, it was declined basically with the power increasing. Also, it had no great influence for the lasting of time.
