Repetitive high voltage pulsed power for polytetrafluoroethene film surface processing

Abstract

In order to explore the effect of the pulse power discharge and surface processing on polytetrafluoroethene(PTFE) film, we used the means of pulse transformer to set up a repetitive rating high voltage pulse power with the semiconductor solid switch IGBT, and finally achieved the target, a variable voltage amplitude of 15-20 kV, a pulse width of 10-15 s, a pulse rise time of about 1-3 s, and a variable repetitive rating 10-15 kHz. Meanwhile, we had a measurement for the water contact angle of the PTFE film before and after processing, and found that the water contact angle decreased from 112 to about 85.
