A METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE STRUCTURE OF MATERIALS BY MEANS OF A GLOW DISCHARGE AND A DEVICE FOR MODIFYING THE STRUCTURE OF MATERIALS BY MEANS OF A GLOW DISCHARGE

摘要

The subject of the invention is a method for modifying the structure of materials by means of a glow discharge, and a device for modifying the structure of materials by means of a glow discharge occurring in a dilute gas environment, which is particularly suitable for the modification of solids and liquids. The method is based on placing the modified material in a vacuum chamber (1), in which pressure is kept at the level of 10^-1 Pa to 10^-7 Pa, which is followed by a glow discharge process initiated between the anode (5) and the cathode (6) by means of an electron potential difference of 30 V to 2,000 V, which is preceded by dosing humidified air by means of a humidified air dosing system (4) into the vacuum chamber (1), which is used to initiate the process of glow discharge. After the glow discharge has become stable, the inflow of humidified air is stopped, which results in the generation of an alternating electromagnetic field with carrier frequency (f_n) of 50 Hz to 150 Hz between the anode (5) and the cathode (6). The distance between the anode (5) and the cathode (6) is used to regulate the frequency of the alternating electromagnetic field until the initiation of molecule resonance in the modified material with a carrier resonance frequency (f_nr) of between 50 kHz and 200 kHz. The distance between the anode (5) and the cathode (6) is also used to regulate the alternating electromagnetic field until the initiation of molecule resonance in the modified material. The material modification process is performed at a temperature of under 50°C during a time period of between 1 minute and 4 hours. The device consists of an anode (5), which can be slid within the anode slide regulation system (10), which is mounted in the cylindrical casing of the vacuum chamber (2), which also comprises a humidified air dosing system (4), a resonance control system (9), a cathode temperature regulation block (11), and a pressure regulation block (12).
