Dependence of strength characteristics of synthetic fibers on plasma gas composition and processing time under influence of low-pressure discharge

The article deals with the physics of the process of changing the strength characteristics of synthetic fibers during processing in high-frequency capacitive discharge of reduced pressure. The dependences of tensile strength of different types of fibers on the composition of plasma-forming gas and on the duration of treatment in CCP low-pressure discharge are determined. It was found that the mixture of argon and propane-butane allows to achieve the greatest increase in tensile strength for all investigated types of synthetic fibers.
