Surface modification of kapok fibers by cold plasma surface treatment

This work evaluated the effects of cold plasma treatment on kapok fibers (Ceiba pentandra L.). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed changes in characteristic absorption bands, indicating modification of the chemical composition of the fiber. Surface roughness, observed by field-emission...
