Surface Modification of a Regenerated Cellulose Film Using Low-Pressure Plasma Treatment with Various Reactive Gases
Tessei Kawano, Meng‐Jiy Wang, Yoshito Andou
Abstract
plasma treatments, the hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of 120.6° was obtained in a short treatment time (60 s) owing to the deposition of fluorocarbon groups on the surface. However, the treated surface in a longer reaction time resulted in increased wettability due to the diffusion and degradation of fluorine-containing bonds. The new insights could be valuable for further studies of surface modification and functionalization of RC films.
