Abstract: | Plasma treatment is a kind of environmentally friendly surface modification technology, which has been widely used to modify
various materials in many industries. Plasma treatment improves the fiber-matrix adhesion largely by roughening the surface
of fibers to increase mechanical interlocking between the fiber and the matrix. For this aim, the effect of atmospheric air
plasma treatment on jute fabrics has been discussed in this study. The plasma treatment has been employed at different powers
and time intervals. The effects of plasma treatment on fiber properties were revealed by wickability, surface roughness, fiber
tensile test and pull-out tests. The effect of plasma treatment on functional groups of jute fibers was observed by attenuated
total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed the
etching effect of plasma treatment on the surface. It can be concluded that plasma treatment is an effective method to improve
the surface and mechanical properties of jute fabrics to be used for composite materials. |
