Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2022 / V.34,no.2,Jun Title Effect of Oxygen Plasma Treatment on the Surface and Tensile Properties of Stainless Steel Fibers Authors MiYeon Kwon, Dae Young Lim, and Seung Goo Lee1 Institution/Affiliations Kitech, Chungnam National University Pages/Total page pp.102 ~ 108 / 7 Language Korean Abstract The physicochemical properties of stainless steel fibers which were modified by oxygen plasma treatment were analyzed through microscopy and XPS analysis. The wettability of the surface of the stainless steel fiber was observed by measuring water contact angle to find out the effect of the plasma treatment time on the surface characteristics of the stainless steel fiber. In addition, in order to understand the effect of oxygen plasma treatment on the deterioration of the stainless steel fiber properties, the physical properties due to plasma treatment was investigated by measuring the weight reduction, tensile strength, elongation, tensile modulus of the stainless steel fibers according to the treatment time. As a result, the stainless steel fiber surface was etched by the oxygen plasma and the surface became more wettable by the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups. However the physical properties of the stainless steel fiber were not significantly deteriorated even if the surface of the stainless steel fiber made hydrophilic.
