Modification of isotactic poly(propylene) with a nitrogen plasma ; differences in comparison to the treatment with a carbon dioxide plasma

摘要: The modification of isotactic poly(propylene) by nitrogen plasma treatment was studied in comparison to the use a carbon dioxide plasma, which reported earlier. effect characterized with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth 3 A, electronic spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) 20 A and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) 10 μm: seems be milder than CO2 treatment. Surface degradation is minor reaction, an opposite manner, crosslinking functionalization (formation primary amino groups) are most important reactions. Radicals, probably originating from elimination [methyl groups] along polymer backbone, could induce these
