Nv. Bykanov et al., Cellulose pretreatment effects on the thermochemical characteristics of water interactions with the surface of fibers, RUSS J PH C, 74(12), 2000, pp. 2008-2010
The influence of pretreatment of the surface of cellulose fiber by a low-te
mperature low-pressure plasma on capillary parameters and the heat of surfa
ce wetting by water was studied experimentally. Plasma-chemical treatment w
as shown to increase the capillary properties of the adsorption system and
decrease the heat of wetting. The conclusion was drawn that the mechanisms
of the influence of thermal and plasmachemical pretreatments on the structu
re and the adsorption properties of the surface of cellulose fibers were id
entical.
