Since more than 40 years ammonia plasma exposure of polyolefins is used for introduction of primary amino groups. The selectivity of this reaction and the yield in primary amino groups was found to be low. Here, a prominent side-reactions of this process was investigated, the hydrogenation by NH3 plasma. For identification of hydrogenation ammonia (NH3) and deuterated ammonia (ND3) were exposed to Polyethylene (h-PE) and fully deuterated polyethylene (d-PE) as well as hexatriacontane (h-HTC) and fully deuterated hexatriacontane (d-HTC) as low-molecular weight model for PE. HD exchange was assumed and detected by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToFSIMS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR-FTIR) and 1H and 2H Nuclear magnetic Resonance. Results show a significant HD exchange within the sampling depth of ATR (2.5 µm). However, N- and NH2 introduction was limited to the topmost surface as shown by SIMS and XPS (a few nanometers).
In contrast to other plasma modification processes of polymer surfaces, the bromination is very selective and shows a high yield in C—Br groups. The most convenient bromination process was found using bromoform, which was thus preferred to elemental bromine, allyl bromide, vinyl bromide or tert-butylbromide. The bromoform process give yields in C—Br up to 40 C—Br or more, with only 2-3% co-introduction of O-functionalities whereas allyl bromide results in yields of about 20 C—Br and more, but in more than 10% oxygen-containing by-products. C—Br groups serve as anchoring points for grafting of molecules, oligomers and pre-polymers of diole or diamine character.
Thin coatings of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) were deposited onto carbon fibers by means of the electrospray ionization (ESI) technique in ambient air. These high-molecular weight polymer layers were used as adhesion promoters in carbon fiberepoxy resin composites. Within the ESI process, the carbon fibers were completely enwrapped with polymer in the upper 10 plies of a carbon fiber roving. As identified with scanning electron microscopy also shadowed fibers in a bundle as well as backsides of fiber rovings were pinhole-free coated with polymers (electrophoretic effect'). Under the conditions used, the layers have a granular structure. Residual solvent was absent in the deposit. PAA and PHEMA films did not show any changes in composition and structure in comparison with the original polymers as analyzed by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Single-fiber pullout tests of coated fibers embedded in epoxy resin showed significantly increased interfacial shear strength. It is assumed that chemical bonds between carbon fiber poly(acrylic acid) and epoxy resin contribute significantly to the improved interactions.
Selektiv funktionalisierte Oberflächen von Polyolefinen sind für verschiedenste Einsatzgebiete wie Adhäsions-, Chemie-, Medizin- und Biotechnik von großem Interesse. Eine Möglichkeit Polymeroberflächen effizient zu funktionalisieren ist, diese durch eine plasmaphysikalisch angeregte Gasphase unter Einsatz geeigneter Präkursoren chemisch zu modifizieren. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Wirkung bromhaltiger Gasphasenplasmen, die Bromoform, Allybromid oder tert-Butylbromid enthielten, auf Polyethylen (PE) und Polypropylen (PP) untersucht. Überraschenderweise wurde hierbei eine hochselektive und hochdichte monosortige Br-Funktionalisierung beobachtet. Um die für diese hohe Selektivität verantwortlichen Prozesse zu untersuchen, wurden analoge halogenhaltige Plasmen, die Tetrafluormethan, Fluoroform, Chloroform, Bromoform und Diiodmethan enthielten, auf ihre chemische Selektivität, ihre Funktionalisierungseffizienz und ihr Ionisationspotential und Elektronentemperatur charakterisiert. Es wurde untersucht, ob die Halogenidfunktionalität als CX oder als C-CXn-Gruppe an der Oberfläche gebildet wird. Für die Bewertung der Langzeitstabilität der Funktionalisierung wurde die Nachoxidation der plasmamodifizierten Polymeroberflächen kontrolliert. Im Anschluss wurde die Umsetzbarkeit mit systematisch variierten organischen Verbindungen bestimmt. Ziel hierbei war zu untersuchen, wie gut sich die Bromidfunktionalität als universelle Abgangsgruppe zur Kopplung flexibilisierender Spacer- Moleküle in der Metall-Polymer-Grenzfläche eignet. Es wurden dazu Kopplungsreaktionen mit unterschiedlich langen und steifen endständigen Alkohol-, Amin- und Glykol- Verbindungen durchgeführt. Darüber hinaus wurden Umfunktionalisierungsreaktionen an bromierten Oberflachen durchgeführt. Auf diese Weise konnte gezeigt werden, dass es möglich ist, die C-Br- Funktionalität gegen eine andere auszutauschen. Spezielles Augenmerk wurde auf die Umfunktionalisierung zu primären Aminogruppen gelegt. Diese wurden über einfache Substitutionsreaktionen mit konzentriertem oder verflüssigtem Ammoniak erzeugt. Auch oberflachengebundene Hydroxylgruppen konnten erzeugt werden. Dazu wurden Bromidfunktionen durch Substitution mit Kalium- und Natriumhydroxid in geeigneten Lösungsmitteln umgesetzt. Polypropylenoberflächen, die mit verschiedenen Spacern ausgerüstet worden waren, wurden im Vakuum mit dünnen Filmen aus Aluminium und Kupfer bedampft. Die Haftfestigkeit dieser Beschichtung wurde anschließend durch Schalfestigkeitsmessungen untersucht.
ToF-SIMS has been used to study the surface functionalization of polypropylene and polyethylene samples by exposure to low-pressure ammonia plasma. Static secondary ion mass spectrometry is an appropriate tool to determine hydrogen isotopes as elements and in fragment ions with high sensitivity and selectivity. Specifically the exchange of hydrogen isotopes and the incorporation of N-containing moieties in the near-surface layer of the polyolefins have been studied in ND3 plasma experiments with conventional polypropylene (h-PP) and polyethylene (h-PE) and NH3 plasma experiments with deuterated polyethylene (d-PE). Considering the exchange of hydrogen between the plasma and the polymer surface studied by using deuterated ammonia and polyolefin samples the conclusion has been derived that polypropylene with its side chain methyl groups is more susceptible to hydrogen exchange reactions. For ND3 plasma treatment of polyethylene and polypropylene similar N-containing fragments were obtained and the measured semi-quantitative ToF-SIMS N-uptake data are rather similar. The observation of a wide range of characteristic mixed CkNlHmDn+ secondary fragment ions suggests complex and manifold reaction pathways at the polymer–plasma interface besides simple grafting of –ND2 or –NH2 moieties formed by ammonia fragmentation in the plasma. Finally, indications of an isotopic effect for hydrogen isotopes in the plasma process have been observed by comparison of ND3/h-PE results with those of NH3/d-PE.
Polyglycerol (PG) coated polypropylene (PP) films were synthesized in a two-step approach that involved plasma bromination and subsequently grafting hyperbranched polyglycerols with very few amino functionalities. The influence of different molecular weights and density of reactive linkers were investigated for the grafted PGs. Longer bromination times and higher amounts of linkers on the surface afforded long-term stability. The protein adsorption and bacteria attachment of the PP-PG films were studied. Their extremely low amine content proved to be beneficial for preventing bacteria attachment.
Activators regenerated by electron transfer–atom radical transfer polymerization (ATRP) as a controlled living polymerization are distinguished by their acceptance of small amounts of transition-metal complexes and oxygen and by their tolerance of reducing agents at a high concentration. The precondition of all ATRP applications is the use of homolytic or heterolytic cleavable halides as a dormant species; this allows the propagation of monomer chains. Hence, alkyl bromides are slightly cleavable and are the preferred initiators for ATRP. The bromination of polymer slides used as macroinitiators was carried out under gentle bromoform plasma conditions. This led to an oxidation-resistant stable bromine layer. More than 20 bromines per 100 carbons on the polymer scaffold were permanently bound to the substrate after plasma treatment. The resulting amounts of secondary and tertiary bromines on the polymer scaffold exhibited a suitable macroinitiator concentration for the surface-initiated polymerization of methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate.
