Photoresist is the key material in the fabrication of micropatterns or microstructures. Tuning the surface wettability of photoresist film is a critical consideration in its application of microfluidics. In this work, the surface wettability tuning of acrylic resin photoresist by oxygen plasma or ultra-violet/ozone, and its aging performance in different atmospheres, were systematically studied. The chemical and physical characterizations of the surfaces before and after modification show a dramatic decrease in the C–C group and increase in surface roughness for oxygen plasma treatment, while a decrease of the C–C group was found for the UV/ozone treatment. The above difference in the surface tuning mechanism may explain the stronger hydrophilic modification effect of oxygen plasma. In addition, we found an obvious fading of the wettability tuning effect with an environment-related aging speed, which can also be featured by the decrease of the C–C group. This study demonstrates the dominated chemical and physical changes during surface wettability tuning and its aging process, and provides basis for surface tuning and the applications in microfluidics.

Coatings such as Cr, Ni, Ti, and SiO2/SnO2 on solar-control and low-emissivity (low-E) glasses are commonly used in the energy efficient glass windows. However, coloring in the re-manufactured glass panels using recycled window glasses resulting from the coatings reduces the glass transparency significantly. Traditional ways to remove coatings by manual wheels and pneumatic removal machines are labor intense and slow processes. In this study a new way to remove the coatings on recycled coated glasses was investigated. The Ultra Violet/Visible/Infrared (UV/VIS/IR) spectra and Secondary Electron Microscope (SEM) pictures were taken before and after 30s. atmospheric pressure oxygen plasma treatments. It was confirmed that the atmospheric oxygen plasma treatment is a fast, efficient, and low pollution way to remove the coatings before the remanufacture of recycled glasses. Other than the physical sputtering off the coatings from the plasma, there are many excited oxygen species in the plasma which effectively react to the coating and the products are then removed.

Direct electroless silver plating of para-aramid (PPTA) is difficult due to its extremely low surface chemical energy. In order to facilitate the deposition of silver nanoparticles and to enhance the washing fastness, oxygen plasma treatment and dopamine modification were conducted before silver plating of PPTA fibers. Various techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) were used to characterize the surface morphology, chemical composition and thermal stability of the silver-plated PPTA fibers. Electrical resistance and silver content of the silver-coated PPTA fibers before and after standard washing were also studied. The results showed that silver nanoparticles were successfully coated onto the surface of PPTA fibers with and without plasma treatment, but the coating continuity and the electrical conductivity of the silver-coated PPTA fibers were greatly enhanced with the assistance of plasma treatment. It was also demonstrated that the washing fastness of silver-coated PPTA fibers was improved after plasma treatment as indicated by electrical resistance and continuity of the silver nanoparticles after various washing cycles. It was found that the electrical resistance of plasma-treated PPTA-PDA/Ag fibers prepared at an AgNO3 concentration of 20 g/L reached 0.89 Ω/cm and increased slightly to 0.94 Ω/cm after 10 standard washing cycles. The silver-coated PPTA fibers also showed stable electrical conductivity under 250 repeated stretching-releasing cycles at a strain of 3%.
