Surface plasma treatment of the electrospun TiO2/PVP composite fibers in different atmospheres

The impact of plasma treatment in the different atmosphere on the surface of the polymer TiO2/PVP microfibers, prepared by needleless electrospinning technology was investigated. The fibers were treated by a low-temperature plasma-induced surface sintering process by a so-called Diffuse Coplanar Srface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) in three different atmospheres: oxidative – air, reducing – H2 and inert – N2 atmosphere. The impact of the plasma...
