The Effect of Low Power Ammonia and Nitrogen Plasmas on Carbon Fibre Surfaces

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of low power nitrogen and ammonia plasmas on carbon fibre surfaces has been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A comparison is made between two polyacrylonitrile based fibres and a pitch based fibre. Grazing angle techniques have been exploited to probe only the first 12-15A of the fibre surface. Plasma treatments were carried out in an insitu plasma treatment cell which was attached to a PHI 5400 X-ray photoelectron spectrometer enabling the immediate effects of the plasma to be studied before the treated surface was exposed to air.
