Abstract
A hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO)-RF plasma was used to treat polypropylene (PP) fabrics to achieve an inorganic type surface. The properties of the plasma modified PP were investigated through demand wettability and contact angle techniques. ESCA and ATR-IR spectroscopy indicated the presence of SiOSi and SiOC based structures. The influence of treatment time on the level of deposition and surface atomic composition was established. Plasma induced molecular fragmentation of HMDSO was determined through GC-MS and high resolution MS analyses of the molecular structures produced from recombination of active species, in the cold trap.
