摘要:
A novel method is proposed for improving the surface properties or, in particular, for increasing the affinity to water of the surface of a shaped article made of a silicone, e.g. a silicone rubber. The inventive method comprises first exposing the surface of the shaped article of the silicone to low temperature plasma of an inorganic gas and then bringing the plasma-treated surface into contact with a liquid inert to the silicone which is an aqueous solution containing a surface active agent. The treated surface retains sufficient affinity to water even 6 months after the treatment.

The undesirable phenomenon of bleeding of, for example, a plasticizer contained in a shaped article of a plasticized polyvinyl chloride resin on the surface of the article in a long-run use is effectively prevented by the inventive method and the effectiveness of the method is durable over a long period of time even when the article is used in an outdoor environment or under irradiation with ultraviolet light. The method of the invention comprises the first step of exposing the surface of the article to an atmosphere of low temperature plasma of an inorganic gas and then the second step of contacting the thus plasma-treated surface with a halogen or hydrogen halide, preferably, in gaseous state.

The invention provides a novel and efficient method for modifying the surface properties of a shaped article of a synthetic resin such as a polyvinyl chloride resin in which a remarkable anti-static effect is obtained on the surface so that accumulation of static electricity on the surface is greatly reduced. The inventive method comprises exposing the surface of the shaped article to a low temperature plasma generated in a gaseous atmosphere containing a nitrogen-containing organic compound such as an amine, acid amide, diamine and heterocyclic organic compound having at least one nitrogen atom in a molecule as the ring member at a pressure from 0.001 to 10 Torr. The gas or vapor of the above mentioned nitrogen-containing organic compound is preferably diluted with an inorganic gas. The effectiveness of the above described plasma treatment is further enhanced when the plasma-treated surface of the shaped article is subsequently brought into contact with a halogen, a hydrogen halide or an organic halogen compound, e.g. chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide and allyl chloride, preferably, in a gaseous phase at a pressure of at least 10 Torr.

The invention provides a novel method for the preparation of a polarizing film or sheet based on a polyvinyl alcohol which is easily prepared and easy to handle. The inventive method comprises first subjecting a substrate film or sheet of a vinyl chloride resin to exposure to low temperature plasma, the surface of the substrate is coated with an aqueous solution of a polyvinyl alcohol and dried so as that a coating layer of the polyvinyl alcohol is formed as firmly bonded to the substrate surface owing to the increased affinity of the surface by the plasma treatment, the thus polyvinyl alcohol-clad substrate is stretched as such unidirectionally and the stretched polyvinyl alcohol layer is treated with iodine to be imparted with a polarizing power. The adhesion between the substrate and the polyvinyl alcohol layer is so strong without an adhesive agent that the difficulty in the prior art in handling fragile stretched polyvinyl alcohol film is completely overcome.

A novel method is proposed for improving the surface properties or, in particular, for increasing the affinity to water of and for reducing accumulation of static electricity on the surface of a shaped article made of an acrylic resin. The inventive method comprises first exposing the surface of the shaped article to low temperature plasma of a gas having no polymerizability in plasma and then bringing the plasma-treated surface into contact with an aqueous solution containing a surface active agent. The effect of the inventive method is so strong and durable that the treated surface remains antistatic even 6 months after the treatment.

A continuous vacuum treating apparatus having a vacuum treating chamber for continuously treating the surface of a plastic molding under a vacuum, and at least one auxiliary vacuum chamber disposed at each of the upstream and downstream sides of the vacuum treating chamber. Each auxiliary vacuum treating chamber includes a pair of seal rolls contacting each other, means for effecting seals between the seal rolls and cases over the entire axial lengths of the rolls, and means for effecting seals between both end surfaces and the cases.
摘要:
The invention provides a novel and efficient method for the improvement of the surface properties of a shaped article of a synthetic resin such as a vinyl chloride-based resin. In particular, the outstanding defective point of the plastic resin articles toward accumulation of static electricity on the surface is greatly reduced by the inventive method, in which the surface of the article is exposed to the low temperature plasma generated in a gaseous atmosphere containing an organic silicon compound followed, preferably, by contacting treatment with a halogen or a halogen compound such as hydrogen halides and halogen-containing organic compounds in a gaseous phase. The organic silicon compound in the gaseous plasma atmosphere is preferably diluted with a diluent gas which may be nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, ammonia or rare gases at a specified partial pressure.
摘要:
The invention provides a novel method for the preparation of a composite shaped article of a vinyl chloride-based resin clad with a coating layer of polyvinyl alcohol without the use of any adhesive agent. The method comprises subjecting the surface of the shaped article to exposure to an atmosphere of low temperature atmosphere, coating the thus plasma-treated surface of the shaped article with an aqueous solution of a polyvinyl alcohol and drying. The coating layer of the polyvinyl alcohol thus formed is so firmly bonded to the surface of the vinyl chloride-based resin shaped article that various advantageous properties are imparted to the shaped article.
摘要:
The invention provides a novel method for preventing bleeding of a plasticizer or other additive ingredients contained in a shaped article of a vinyl chloride-based resin composition on to the surface of the article by the treatment with low temperature plasma. Different from conventional procedures for the plasma treatment, much improved reliability and reproducibility as well as effectiveness are obtained by subjecting the article to intermittent exposure to the plasma atmosphere instead of continuous exposure. In the inventive method, the overall treatment time is an alternate sequence of exposure times, each being of the length of 0.001 second to 1000 seconds, and repose times, each being also of the length of 0.001 second to 1000 seconds. The gas for the plasma atmosphere is desirably an inorganic gas selected from the gases other than oxygenic gases, halogen containing gases and sulfur containing gases.
摘要:
The invention provides a novel method for modifying surface properties, e.g. liability to surface bleeding of plasticizers and other additives and affinity with water, of shaped articles of polymeric materials such as vinyl chloride-based resins and silicone rubbers by the treatment with low temperature plasma of a gas. The plasma treatment in the inventive method is carried out in two steps with the first step carried out in an atmosphere of oxygen and the second step carried out in a non-oxidizing gas such as argon and carbon monoxide. Different from the conventional methods of plasma treatment which suffer from poor reproducibility and low effectiveness, the inventive method can give good reproducibility and high effectiveness presumably owing to the removal of the surface stain in the first step plasma treatment.
