Effect of surface oxyfluorination on the dyeability of polyethylene film.

The effect of surface oxyfluorination on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film was studied in terms of surface functionality and surface energetics of the film surfaces, which can be attributed to improvement of the dyeability. The growth of functional groups and surface free energy was confirmed by FTIR-ATR, XPS, and contact angle methods. As a result, the total surface free energy was increased with oxyfluorination time, as a progressive increase of the polar component together with a small decrease of the dispersive component of surface free energy.

Effect of acidic treatment on metal adsorptions of pitch-based activated carbon fibers.

In this work, the pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared by nitric acid to investigate the multi-metal adsorption in interfacial and textural points of view. N2/77 K adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and micropore volume, were studied by BET specific surface area and t-plot methods, respectively. As a result, the specific surface area of the almost neutral ACFs in nature significantly decreased with nitric acid treatment, probably due to the widening of micropores.

Influence of copper content on NO removal of the activated carbon fibers produced by electroplating.

In this study, the activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on which copper metal was deposited by electroplating were used to remove nitric oxide (NO). N(2)/77 K adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and micropore volume, were investigated by BET and T-plot methods. NO removal efficiency was confirmed by gas chromatographic technique.
