SURFACE MODIFICATION OF POLYETHER ETHER KETONE (PEEK) FILAMENT YARN (Pages : 1 - 7)

The aim of this work is to develop wettability and adhesion between the surface of inert Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) filaments and elementary silver (Ag) particles by applying the atmospheric pressure corona plasma. It has been tried also to modify surface of PEEK by Formic acid but the result is insignificant which has been stated on this work. The wettability of plasma treated PEEK is investigated by means of contact angle and surface free energy measurement. The tensile test of the plasma modified PEEK filament is carried out to determine the influence of the modification on its mechanical properties. Surface roughness of PEEK is observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Download
