Utilize under the normal pressure plasma discharge to the method for elongated insulation tube modifying inner surface
Technical field
The invention belongs to material surface modifying technology in the lower temperature plasma technology field, relate to the argon plasma that in elongated flexible insulated dielectric tube, produces high electron density, realize the method for modifying inner surface by mixing reactive gas.
Background technology
Answer the various needs of science and technology and production practice, often require the insulation tube internal surface to want possess hydrophilic property, hydrophobicity, protection against corrosion, various characteristicses such as disinfection.The plasma body that utilizes atmosphere pressure discharging to produce carries out surface modification and thereby plated film realizes that these characteristics are technological approaches of exploring at present.Because for the rough vacuum plasma technique, on the one hand because of not needing vacuum apparatus to greatly reduce investment cost and reduced the complicacy that operation of equipment is safeguarded, thereby under atmospheric pressure can produce on the other hand the active particle shortening treatment time of greater concn.Yet under atmospheric pressure the voltage breakdown by discharge acquisition plasma body is very high, therefore to the requirement harshness of power supply, especially will produce the plasma body of big scale, and too high voltage breakdown has seriously restricted further applying of this technology.In addition, gas flow required in the normal atmosphere open system is very big, considers from the economy angle, and the carrier gas of use must adopt cheap gas could give prominence to the advantage of this technology.
At present, the fluidics that is adopted is many to be carrier gas with the helium, moreover the jet length that the fluidics that is adopted produces is not enough to satisfied requirement to the internal surface of elongated tube even processing; In addition, has the feature of the thread discharge of typical dielectric impedance by twine electrode at the medium tube outside surface at the plasma body that method produced of pipe underexcitation helium or argon gas discharging, and be limited by the thickness and the specific inductivity of medium tube wall, discharge scenario is very complicated, application conditions harshness not only, and its range of application also is very restricted.We propose a kind of method is to utilize at the inner plasma body that directly produces of medium tube, rather than see through generation plasma body electric field action under of inducing of tube wall, in the plasma discharge that with the argon gas is carrier gas, sneak into reactive gas, finish plasma chemical reaction, form the modification that various useful free radicals are realized internal surface.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of argon plasma that in elongated flexible insulated dielectric tube, produces high electron density, realize the method for the modification of internal surface by mixing reactive gas.
To achieve these goals, technical scheme of the present invention is: the metal electrode that inserts the hollow of sharp edges at the two ends of elongated insulation tube, and sealing fixes and allows gas flow into from the endoporus of one of them electrode, from the endoporus of another electrode, flow out, add that on the metal electrode of these two hollows operating frequency is the voltage of alternating current in 40~50kHz scope.Increase voltage gradually, plasma jet is produced by the drive electrode end and spreads to ground-electrode, forms complete discharge channel at last.Further regulate voltage of supply, make the final arc discharging plasma that forms high electron density in the discharge channel.Then, feed the reactive gas that will use according to actual needs and make it to be mixed in the argon carrier gas, thereby produce modification or the plated film that required chemically-active particle is finished the medium tube internal surface.
The plasma discharge that utilizes under the normal pressure of the present invention feeds the reactive gas that will use in argon plasma discharge back and after forming complete discharge channel, the generation chemically-active particle to the method for elongated insulation tube modifying inner surface.
Of the present inventionly utilize that plasma discharge is to the method for elongated insulation tube modifying inner surface under the normal pressure, handled elongated tubular material is an insulating material, and is crooked arbitrarily under the situation of not stopping up gas channel.
The plasma discharge that utilizes under the normal pressure of the present invention is to the method for elongated insulation tube modifying inner surface, and described power supply is sinusoidal high-voltage power supply of pulsed modulation or pulsed high voltage generator.
Effect of the present invention and benefit are: the plasma body that has produced high electron density in elongated insulation tube, produce the processing of various active particles realization internal surfaces and the physical environment that the film deposition provides wide operation window for mixing reactive gas, since among the present invention by having selected best alternate current operation frequency that required operating voltage is reduced greatly, with respect to existing technology, design technology project of the present invention is succinct, has outstanding advantage on the reduction equipment cost and on the increase operability.
