Enhancing the mechanical performance of 3D‐printed basalt fiber‐reinforced composites using in‐line atmospheric plasma pretreatments

The objective of this study is to investigate the use of an air atmospheric plasma jet for the treatment of sized basalt fibers, used in the fabrication of continuous fiber‐reinforced polypropylene filaments. The plasma treatments were carried out both at a laboratory scale, as well as in‐line durin...

description The objective of this study is to investigate the use of an air atmospheric plasma jet for the treatment of sized basalt fibers, used in the fabrication of continuous fiber‐reinforced polypropylene filaments. The plasma treatments were carried out both at a laboratory scale, as well as in‐line during the production of fiber‐reinforced filaments. The latter was carried out at a fiber processing speeds of approximately 15 m/s, just immediately before the polymer coating of the fiber by extrusion. After the air plasma treatment, the water contact angle of the sized basalt fiber decreased from 86° to
