Abstract

A new possibility of our atmospheric cold plasma torch has been examined on the surface treatment of an air-exposed vulcanized rubber compound. The plasma treatment effect was evaluated by the bondability with another rubber compound using a polyurethane adhesive. The adhesion property was improved by the treatment with plasma containing oxygen radicals. The oxygen radical generation from the plasma was verified and its efficiency was found to be dependent on the cathode material.
