Abstract

The effect of low power nitrogen and ammonia plasmas on carbon fibre surfaces has been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A comparison is made between two polyacrylonitrile based fibres and a pitch based fibre. Grazing angle techniques have been exploited to probe only the first 12-15A of the fibre surface. Plasma treatments were carried out in an insitu plasma treatment cell which was attached to a PHI 5400 X-ray photoelectron spectrometer enabling the immediate effects of the plasma to be studied before the treated surface was exposed to air.
