13 Plasma treatment of micro/nano powders New R&D direction in VITO s atmospheric plasma team Based on existing know-how related to functionalisation and coating of flat surfaces and 3D components Addressing growing interest in customized micro/nano powders Broad application area of functionalized (nano) powders: additives in plastics, paint & coatings, composites, pigments, cosmetics, pharma, etc. 15

14 Advantages of atmospheric plasma technology Dry surface treatment versus wet chemical techniques avoiding use of solvents and adhesion primers Cold plasma surface engineering technique enabling treatment of temperature sensitive materials Versatile technique broad range of precursor chemistries Atmospheric process continuous production processes possible 16

15 Approach Project main targets To develop an innovative atmospheric plasma process for cost-effective powder functionalisation To increase the knowledge on dry functionalisation of (nano)powders Open innovation program with industrial consortium Market input from start of project Focussed knowledge build-up Fast assessment of technological potential Shortening development time from lab to industry 17

16 Targets and challenges Engineered (nano)particles higher added value Improved incorporation/dispersion in different hosts/matrices Surface functionalisation to decrease or prevent agglomeration Improved flowability of particles Super hydrophilic/hydrophobic treatment Surface modification to influence tribo-electric charging Challenges Interaction plasma-nanoparticles (agglomeration, charging etc.) Residence time of particles in plasma zone Technical reactor concept and powder handling Level of control: treatment uniformity 18

17 Current set-up for powder treatment 19

18 Available characterization tools In-house: Tensiometer XPS SEM/EDS Particle size distribution Zeta potential Specific area Other: EPMA, XRD, FT-IR, TGA,... External: TEM ToF-SIMS Flowability parameters Krüss tensiometer K100MK2 21

19 Examples of plasma treated powder PE Untreated PE N 2 -treated CB Untreated CB N 2 -treated CB Untreated CB N 2 -treated After 1h After 24h Large improvement of dispersion of PE and CB powders in water 22

20 Examples of plasma treated powder APEO coating on ZrO 2 beads 23

21 TEM images of coating» Coating is nm thick» Several patches on the particle surface 24

22 Conclusions Atmospheric plasma treatment opens new perspectives on functionalisation and coating of micro & nano powders Through collaboration in open innovation projects with industrial and R&D partners we aim to accelerate the integration into new products In collaboration with 25
