              Plasma Treatment Technology: The Transformation of Acetylene Carbon Black's Physical properties

In the field of materials science today, plasma treatment technology is gradually becoming a key means to enhance the physical properties of acetylene carbon black.
Plasma treatment significantly impacts the particle size and size distribution of acetylene carbon black. High - energy particles react with the surface of carbon black, breaking and re - arranging chemical bonds, reducing agglomeration, making the particle size distribution more uniform, and ultimately obtaining smaller and more uniform particle sizes.
Regarding the specific surface area, the etching and activation of the carbon black surface increase the specific surface area. Experiments show that after plasma treatment, the specific surface area of carbon black increases from a lower level to a higher level, significantly enhancing its adsorption capacity and chemical reactivity.
In terms of electrical conductivity, plasma treatment changes the electron cloud distribution on the carbon black surface. Meanwhile, the improvement of particle size distribution and the increase in specific surface area are conducive to electron transfer and hopping, improving the application performance of acetylene carbon black in the fields of electronics and energy.
The surface energy and wettability also change due to plasma treatment. Polar groups such as oxygen - containing functional groups are introduced on the surface of carbon black, increasing the surface energy, changing the surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, improving the compatibility and binding force with other substances, and enabling better dispersion and binding with the matrix in composite materials.
In terms of mechanical properties, plasma treatment enhances the filling capacity of carbon black. When added to materials such as rubber and plastics, it significantly improves the strength, wear resistance, and weather resistance of the materials, making them more robust and durable.
Plasma treatment technology has opened up new avenues for the application of acetylene carbon black in multiple fields. With the continuous development of technology, it is expected to further tap the potential of acetylene carbon black and promote the innovation and development of related industries.
