Abstract:

In this paper, the idea and method for surface modification of rubber using low temperature microwave p;asma are provided, and the theory of microwave plasma surface modification of rubber is discussed. It is discovered that the contact angle between the liquid and the treated surface of rubber obviously decreases with greatly improving water wettability, the polar functional groups of the modified surface of rubber greatly increase from ESCA, and the adhesion of the rubber treated with microwave plasma to steel evidently increases.

Key words: treatment for surface modification, surface contact angle, ESCA, shear strength, microwave plasma, treatment for surface modification, surface contact angle, ESCA, shear strength
