ANTI-STATIC AND ANTI-FLAMING IMPROVEMENT OF BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER BLENDS BY NANOCOATING VIA PLASMA TECHNOL
Abstract
Atmospheric pressure plasma is an alternative technique for surface modification that will affect surface properties such as chemistry and morphology. Atmospheric pressure plasma has recently been demonstrated to be an effective technique for modifying polymer surfaces. Only surface properties are charged, but the bulk properties remain unchanged when applying plasma treatment . Surface modification of polymer blends to increase surface area by plasma surface modification has been investigated in order to increase the adhesion of nano particles to the proposed composite material. Dhanumalayan et al. (2017) indicated that average surface roughness increased after plasma treatment. Because static charges can destroy sensitive electronic equipment, researchers must develop antistatic materials. The best candidate for the production of antistatic packaging is polymeric matrices due to their inherent lightness and good processability. Metal particles such as copper, silver, and iron, etc. and carbon allotropes (carbon black, graphite or carbon nanomaterials) are commonly used for antistatic coating. Silva et al. (2019) indicated that electrically conductive particulate filers including metal or carbon nanoparticles can be added to electrically insulating polymeric matrices. However, there is still room to investigate an appropriate coated nanoparticle to improve the antistatic performance of composite polymers.
