Friction Behavior of Engineering Polymers Treated by Atmospheric DBD Plasma

SUMMARY

The frictional behavior of (PA6 E and PETP) engineering polymers commonly used in the industry were investigated implying 3D surface topography due to Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) source, atmospheric cold plasma surface treatment and compared to the pristine surface results under the same test conditions. The 3D surface topography shows a decrease in the surface roughness after treatment and keeps good topographical stability with the function of time. The friction coefficient of treated samples were lower than the pristine one under “run-out” lubrication conditions in line with surface characterization results.
