The Impact

AbstractPlasma treatment is becoming a mature technique for modification of surfaces of various materials, including wood. A better insight in the treatment process and the impact of the plasma on properties of wood bulk are still needed. The study was performed on Norway spruce and common beech wood, as well as their thermally modified variations. The formations of the airborne discharge, as well as mass changes of the treated wood, were monitored. The impact of such treatment on wood-coating interaction was investigated by evaluating the dynamic wettability and penetration into wood. At the wood surface, plasma streamers were observed more intense on denser latewood regions. Wood mass loss was higher with increasing number of passes through the plasma discharge and was lower for thermally modified wood than for unmodified wood. Plasma treatment increased the surface free energy of all wood species and lowered the contact angles of a waterborne coating, these together indicating enhanced wettability after treatment. Finally, the distribution and penetration depth of the coating were studied with X-ray microtomography. It was found that the coating penetrated deeper into beech than into spruce wood. However, the treatment with plasma increased the penetration of the coating only into spruce wood.

The study involves the processing of a novel poly [1, 4-phenylene-cis-benzobisoxazole] (PBO) fibre reinforced high-temperature thermoplastic composite with polyaryletherketone (PAEK) as the matrix. The PBO fibre and the PAEK film surface was modified using the method of argon and nitrogen plasma treatment. The investigation primarily focuses on evaluating the tensile properties of the fabricated laminates and correlating it with the effect of plasma treatment, surface characteristics, and its fracture surface. A 5% decrease in tensile strength was observed post argon plasma treatment while a 27% increase in strength was observed post nitrogen plasma treatment. The morphology of the failure surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and an interfacial failure was observed. Furthermore, the effect of plasma on the wettability of PBO fibres and PAEK film surface was confirmed by the Dynamic Contact Angle analysis and sessile drop method respectively. FTIR spectral analysis was done to investigate the effect of plasma treatment on the chemical structure on the surface. The results of the wettability study showed that the argon plasma treatment of the fibre surface increased its hydrophobicity while nitrogen plasma treatment resulted in the reduction of contact angle.

The present study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation of spirulina on laying hens’ performances: Eggs’ physical, chemical, and sensorial qualities. A total of 45 Lohman White hens, 44 weeks of age, were randomized into 3 groups of 15 birds. Hens were given 120 g/d of a basal diet containing 0% (control), 1.5%, and 2.5% of spirulina for 6 weeks. Albumen height and consequently Haugh unit were significantly affected by dietary supplementation of spirulina (p < 0.05) and by weeks on diet (p < 0.05). This supplement did not affect (p > 0.05) egg yolk weight or height. However, spirulina increased egg yolk redness (a*) from 1.33 (C) to 12.67 (D1) and 16.19 (D2) and reduced (p < 0.05) the yellowness (b*) parameter from 62.1(C) to 58.17 (D1) and 55.87 (D2). Egg yolks from hens fed spirulina were darker, more red, and less yellow in color than egg yolks from hens fed the control-diet (p < 0.0001). However, spirulina did not affect (p > 0.05) egg yolks’ total cholesterol concentration. In conclusion, a significant enhancement of egg yolk color was found in response to spirulina supplementation. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the impact of spirulina on egg yolks’ fatty acids profile.

The Impact

Mechanical, chemical and plasma treatment are the main kind of treatment of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films. Each method is different from each other by the adhesive force: the value of the wetting angle. Mechanical treatment allows different particles to permeate into the structure of the polymer. Chemical treatment creates new functional groups on the polymer surface, but this method is toxic and dangerous. Plasma treatment, in a glow discharge non-thermal plasma, is a more ecological and practical method. The experiment showed that the plasma treatment successfully increases the adhesion, this has been proven by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. According to the obtained data of the wetting angle, the regression equation was derived. A graphical model is constructed by regression equations allows you to determine the main processing factor and choose the optimal values of treatment.

Nitrogen Treatment

In this work, we apply optical emission spectroscopy to investigate active plasma species to study that plasma nitrogen treatment affects polystyrene surfaces. Data concerning these active plasma species are crucial for exploring the polystyrene layer's functionality deposited on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) surface. Wettability function in biosensors development is essential aspects for biomolecule immobilization. The surface of the polystyrene layer was modified by plasma nitrogen treatment. The process parameters affecting plasma species and characteristic, and hence the treatment results studied in this work were chamber pressure, flow rate, and DC bias. The plasma analysis was conducted by optical emission spectroscopy. The spectroscopy was utilized to predict the active species of plasma, the electron temperature Te and the electron density Ne. The dominant reactive species was N2+ which go through different plasma interactions and on the polystyrene surface depending on the DC bias voltage, the nitrogen- gas flow rate, and the chamber pressure. The plasma treatment results suggest that the ion bombardment was the dominant mechanism that changes the polystyrene's surface. The plasma behavior and surface interactions were found complex with the variation of the process parameter.
