Abstract: The present invention fabricates a hydrophobic and oleophobic polymer fabric through two stages of modification using atmospheric plasmas. The modified fabric has a rough surface and a fluorocarbon functional group having the lowest surface free energy. The fabric has a grafted fluorocarbon monomer layer to enhance the graft efficiency of the fluorocarbon functional groups and its wash fastness. The atmospheric plasmas can be mass produced and less expensively. Hence, the present invention can rapidly modify surfaces of polymeric materials with low cost and good environment protection.

Abstract: A method of fabricating hydrophobic and oleophobic polymer fabric through two stages of modification using atmospheric plasmas including (a) moving a substrate into an atmospheric plasma area, generating an atmospheric filamentary discharge plasma with a first plasma working gas to obtain a first rough surface of said substrate, (b) exposing plasma treated substrate to air to obtain highly active peroxide on said first rough surface of said substrate, (c) immersing said substrate in a solution of fluorocarbon compound and processing a first stage of graft of a fluorocarbon monomer or oligomer on said substrate to obtain a grafted fluorocarbon monomer or oligomer layer on said first rough surface of said substrate, (d) processing a second stage of graft a fluorocarbon functional group to said grafted fluorocarbon monomer or oligomer layer by generating a carbon tetrafluoride plasma from a second plasma working gas and irradiating said carbon tetrafluoride plasma on said grafted fluorocarbon monomer or oligomer

The apparatus consists of a large area vertical planar nitrogen plasma activation electrode assembly and its high voltage power supply, a large area vertical planar nitrogen plasma deposition electrode assembly and its high voltage power supply, a long-line uniform precursor jet apparatus, a roll-to-roll apparatus for substrate movement, and a sub-atmospheric pressure deposition chamber and its pumping apparatus.

Abstract: An atmospheric pressure plasma reactor includes a high-voltage electrode, a common grounded electrode, a bias electrode and at least one dielectric layer. The high-voltage electrode is connected to a high-voltage power supply. The common grounded electrode is used with the high-voltage electrode to discharge and therefore produce planar atmospheric plasma from reactive gas. The bias electrode is used to generate bias for attracting the ions of the planar atmospheric pressure plasma. The dielectric layer is used to suppress undesirable arc discharge during the discharging.

Abstract: Abstract of the disclosure The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for a glow discharge plasma surface treatment of flexible sheet materials under atmospheric pressure. The apparatus comprises electrodes, a single plasma-gas flow channel, uniform gas inlet-and-outlet devices, gas-seal devices for the horizontal movements of sheet materials and reel devices, so as to attain an uniform distribution of plasma gases in the gap between electrodes. As a result, not only a great amount of expensive plasma gas is saved, but also an uniform glow discharge plasma is generated at the lowest input power to obtain a good quality of uniform plasma treatment with continuous processing and high production.
