| Abstract Scope |
The carbon obtained through pyrolysis is generally limited in their use due to their hydrophobic and inert surfaces. The nature of functional groups introduced across the surface of carbon materials is critical to the development of advanced materials for applications where surface-specific interactions or reactions determine performance. Semicrysllaine carbon was synthesized from sustainable starch based waste packaging material using a simple high-pressure/temperature pyrolysis reaction. Thus, obtained carbon was further modified using ultra sonication method. The surface energies of the biochar carbon were altered using low temperature plasma treatment processes in presence of Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) gas. Plasma treated carbon was characterized for surface functionality changes. It was found that plasma treatment was effective in incorporating fluorine related functionalities on carbon surface and can be used as fillers for polymer composite application. |
