This article attempts to give an overview of the literature on the treatment of textiles with non-
thermal plasmas. Because of the enormous amount of potential uses of non-thermal …

Plasma surface modification of polymers is a well‐established method applied to increase
the surface energy of these materials, where the capacity of cold plasmas to generate free …

Concerns on environmental issues are motivating the development of biodegradable
materials and the use of sustainable processes. Among the most abundant biodegradable …

In this work, low pressure glow discharge O2 plasma has been used to increase wettability
in a LDPE film in order to improve adhesion properties and make it useful for technical …

In this work the thermal analysis of raw and defatted sisal fiber and its chemical constituents
(cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) was performed by thermogravimetric analysis, and …

Nos últimos anos, o interesse pelo uso de fibras naturais em materiais compósitos
poliméricos tem aumentado significativamente. Neste trabalho foram investigadas as …

Anatase titanium dioxide (TiO 2) nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)
nanofibers were fabricated for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) as the test …

The effect of polymer chain structure, addition of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) to initiate grafting
onto the fibre, and different fibre loadings on the morphology and thermal properties of …

Polypropylene (PP) tape by tape fabric was modified with atmospheric pressure non-thermal
plasma (APNTP) for improved hydrophilicity and adhesion to polyurethane (PU) coating …

The surface of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber was treated in N 2/Ar
and N 2/H 2/Ar RF plasmas in order to achieve similar or better adhesion properties than …
