The properties of the PET nonwoven fabric including its liquid absorptive capacity (WA), aging behavior, surface chemical composition, morphology of the surface, adhesion strength, surface electrical resistivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI)- shielding effectiveness (SE) were studied. The liquid absorptive capacity (WA) increased due to the incorporation of oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups on the surface of PET nonwoven fabric after DBD airplasma treatment. The surface morphology of the nonwoven fibers became rougher after plasma treatment. Therefore, the surface was more prone to absorb tin sensitizer and palladium catalyst to form an active layer for the deposition of electroless nickel. SEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements indicated that a uniform coating of nickel was formed on the PET nonwoven fabric. The average EMI-SE of Ni-plating of PET nonwoven fabric maintained a relatively stable value (38.2 dB to 37.3 dB) in a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1500 MHz. It is concluded that DBD is feasible for pretreatment of nonwoven fabric for electroless nickel plating to prepare functional material with good EMI-SE properties.展开更多

Hirudin- immobilized PET (PET-HRD) films were prepared by the grafting of PET-AA, followed by chem- ical reaction with hirudin. The surface structure of the treated PET was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The wettability, surface free energy, and interface free energy of the films were investigated by contact angle measurement. The blood compatibility of the films was assessed by platelet-adhesion test and fibrinogen conformational change measurements to eval- uate the viability of the materials in biomedical engineering. Measurement by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the amounts of adhered, aggregated and morphologically changed platelets were reduced on the hirudin-immobilized PET films. Enzyme-linked-immunoassay mea- surements that disclosed fibrinogen conformational changes showed results consistent with the platelets' behavior.展开更多
