Özet

A new approach to deposit sulfur groups on paper has been evaluated in this study by radio-frequency (RF) SO2H-O2 plasma treatment. The survey and high-energy resolution XPS spectra provide clues to the site of modification on the paper surface. Relatively large variations in the deposited film-like layer composition can be realized by changing plasma parameters. In general, increasing RF-power provides effective implantation of sulfur, from 3.6% to 7.2%. It is clearly shown that elemental oxygen incorporation on paper directly depends on the relative ratio of SO2/O2. All XPS HR C1s diagrams from SO2 + O2 plasma treated samples show a penta model pattern. The presence of CH2-S at 285.7 eV, O = C-O at 289.2 eV, and O-CO-O at 290.4 eV are the new groups characterized. © Freund Publishing House Ltd.
