Abstract
Systematic research on interaction of ammonia gaseous plasma with composite materials will be performed in order to improve the long-term performance of electrical devices with glass-reinforced polymer insulation. The comparative tracking index (CTI) will be increased dramatically by selective removal of surface polymer layer and will approach values typical for glasses. Plasma will be created by electrode-less inductively coupled RF discharge and suitable surface effects will be achieved by optimization of the ratio between fluxes of neutral and charged reactive gaseous particles onto composite materials. Systematic research on optimization of plasma coupling, generation of reactive particles, interaction of particles with composite materials and characterization of plasma-treated materials will allow for drawing correlations between applied processing parameters and CTI index. The results will represent a solid background for later development of a large-scale reactor suitable for application in massive production thus increasing the quality of rotors used in numerous products from washing machines to gasoline pumps in vehicles.
Significance for science
The paper entitled "E- and H-mode transition in a low pressure inductively coupled ammonia plasma" represents the first report worldwide on behaviour of ammonia plasma at transitions between the two distinguished modes Characteristics of ammonia plasma sustained by inductively coupled radiofrequency discharge has been studied in the range of powers between 50 and 1000 W and pressures between 10 and 90 Pa. In such an experimental setup pronounced differences between the E- and H-mode were observed and explained to some details. Plasma was characterized by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and residual gas spectrometry (RGA). The plasma luminosity changed for 4 orders of magnitude and the NH2 band vanished at higher powers (H-mode). The RGA results indicated high density of NH2 radicals in the E-mode whilst in the H-mode the ammonia molecules almost entirely dissociated to H and N atoms. The N and H atoms created in the plasma recombined to the nitrogen and hydrogen molecules rather than to parent ammonia molecules on the way to the RGA. In the paper "Tackling chemical etching and its mechanisms of polyphenolic composites in various reactive low temperature plasmas" we presented our own hypothesis on interaction of different plasmas with such composites. Inductively coupled low temperature plasma discharge was verified to facilitate chemical etching to selectively remove the surface polymer from the glass filled polyphenolic composite. The etching rate inside the plasma was compared with commercially important feeding gases including H2, N2, O2 and NH3 as a function of discharge power. The protruding surface polymer was removed in volatile molecular fragments, whereas the glass additives stayed unaffected. The etching rate is shown to increase as a function of applied power inside all used gas discharges. Irrespective of the applied power, O2 plasma displayed the highest etching rate. Furthermore, by combining optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the work is extended to mechanistically present the possible chemical pathways which lead to creation of various functional groups on the surface during the plasma–surface interactions.
Significance for the country
The scientific results and knowledge gained within this project represent a solid background for upscaling and possible development of an industrial line for application of the plasma technology in mass production. The decision about commercialization depends on the economic factors (cost of investment and processing costs) as well as global market situation. The key objective of this project was a fair estimation of technological feasibility and this objective was achieved. The CTI index of prototypes treated according to the innovative technology elaborated within the project was improved dramatically and upscaling is feasible.
