TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plasma modification effect evaluation, and particularly relates to a plasma material modification effect evaluation method based on color enhancement. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of low-temperature plasma technology, plasma modification has been widely applied in material modification to customize the physical form and chemical composition of the material surface, effectively improving the physical and chemical (surface roughness, wettability, etc.) and electrical (conductivity, flashover voltage, etc.) properties. Especially for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), epoxy resin (ER), silicone rubber (SIR) and some high polymer electric insulating materials, they are facing multiple challenges such as harsh environment, concentrated field, overvoltage flashover, etc. Therefore, improving the insulating surface with high hydrophobicity and high electrical insulation performance has become a research hotspot in recent ten years. With the help of specific reaction medium in plasma, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is essentially to manufacture functional coating on insulating substrate, thereby improving water resistance and electrical insulation performance.
[0003] However, plasma treatment cannot always meet the initial ideal requirements of the operator, and the modification effect is seriously affected by the plasma reactor, discharge mode, experimental conditions and treatment mode, especially on the two-dimensional plane of large-size insulator, the growth rate of plasma deposition film may be different at different positions, resulting in uneven modification effect. The uneven film deposition on the surface of the material not only cannot adjust the performance of the whole surface, but also introduces physical and chemical defects due to the unevenness of the composition, causing the accumulation of electric charge and reducing the electrical insulation performance, thereby leading to the secondary failure of electrical insulation. Therefore, characterizing and evaluating the modification effect and uniformity of the material surface is of great significance for further promoting the industrial application of plasma and improving the modification effect of plasma.
[0004] At present, under laboratory conditions, the surface modification of plasma insulating materials is limited by the size of the reactor, and the treatment area is small. Therefore, when investigating the surface modification effect of insulating materials, it is easy to test the physicochemical properties, hydrophobicity, flashover voltage, etc. However, these detection methods are generally single-point measurements, which cannot meet the surface performance characterization of large-area materials. At present, griding and multi-point sampling methods can be used to test different positions of large-area materials, but this method is low in efficiency and high in time cost, which seriously limits the evaluation efficiency of large-area industrial modification, and it is more difficult to intuitively reflect the plasma modification effect. In addition, the misoperation in the detection process may damage the quality of the modified film to a certain extent. There is an urgent need for a modification effect evaluation method suitable for large-area and batch modification to realize the rapid diagnosis and evaluation of plasma material modification effect.
[0005] The prior art with the publication number CN106296648B discloses a method for evaluating the relationship between plasma and final modification effect during laser modification, sends the image to the processing software, extracts the feature information, and obtains the corresponding relationship between the feature information and the laser modification effect, but this method can only reflect the area of the laser modification region, and lacks the corresponding relationship between the image information and the modification effect.
[0006] The prior art with the publication number CN1379459A discloses a device for evaluating a polycrystalline silicon thin film, obtains a thin film surface image through multi-angle shooting, and evaluates the features of the thin film surface structure from the surface image, which is relatively cumbersome and requires a high instrument, and is not suitable for detection of large-scale thin film modification.
[0007] The prior art with the publication number CN114144654 discloses a surface characteristic evaluation method, a surface characteristic evaluation device, and a surface characteristic evaluation program, sprays a fluorescent substance on the surface of the processed material and performs multi-angle shooting to obtain the surface characteristics. However, the added fluorescent substance floats on the surface of the material, which is prone to interface incompatibility, and can only macroscopically represent the change of the material surface morphology, and is not suitable for monitoring the modification effect of the plasma insulating material surface.
[0008] Therefore, the present application provides a plasma material modification effect evaluation method based on color enhancement, quantizes the surface film of the material after plasma modification and gives 9-order colors, and simultaneously gives the water contact angle and flashover voltage size range reflected by the 9-order colors, to avoid repetitive testing and realize online evaluation of the modification effect.

[0063] Examples and verification examples:
[0064] As shown in the attached Figure 1 , it is the original picture of the collected material surface after plasma modification, which is usually a photo with 500x1000 pixels; the gray value of each pixel in the picture is extracted, and the darker part in the original picture may have poorer processing effect, and the processing effect needs to be evaluated. According to the gray value, all gray intervals are graded, and we usually divide them into 9 levels, and preset the corresponding RGB value in each grade, so as to supplement the color on the basis of gray value and generate the corresponding 9 color scales, and generate the color-enhanced picture, as shown in the attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 , 9 color scales are generated.
[0065] The surface water contact angle and flashover voltage of different color level areas are tested. In the water contact angle test, 1.5 μL of distilled water is fixed on the material surface to form a droplet, and the water contact angle (WCA) between the droplet and the material interface is calculated after 20 s of stabilization; in the flashover voltage test, the finger-shaped electrode with a distance of 5 mm is used, and the high-voltage direct current source is increased at a rate of 500 V / s until flashover occurs, and the breakdown voltage at this time is recorded.
[0066] The surface water contact angle and flashover voltage test results of the attached Figure 2 picture are as follows:
[0067] The water contact angle of region 1 (R1, G0, B128) is about 61°, and the average flashover voltage is about 6.4 kV. As the color warms up, the water contact angle of region 2 (R0, G0, B188) is about 74.4°, and the average flashover voltage is about 6.8 kV; the water contact angle of region 3 (R1, G126, B255) is about 88.7°, and the average flashover voltage is about 7.3 kV; the water contact angle of region 4 (R126, G255, B254) is about 107°, and the average flashover voltage is about 8.4 kV; the average water contact angle of region 5 (R255, G179, B254) increases to 121°, and the surface hydrophobic modification is basically achieved; the average flashover voltage of region 5 also increases to 9.6 kV. As the color further warms up, the water contact angle of region 6 (R255, G0, B248) is about 127°, and the average flashover voltage is about 9.9 kV; the water contact angle of region 7 (R255, G255, B0) is about 133°, and the average flashover voltage is about 10.2 kV; the water contact angle of region 8 (R255, G126, B0) is about 139°, and the average flashover voltage is about 11.4 kV; the water contact angle of region 9 (R251, G3, B0) reaches 143°
[0068] Evaluation: As can be seen from the surface water contact angle and flashover voltage test results given above, region 1 (R1, G0, B128) is the worst modified region, with the smallest water contact angle (61°) and the lowest flashover voltage (6.4 kV); region 9 (R251, G3, B0) is the best modified region, with the largest water contact angle (139°) and the highest flashover voltage (11.4 kV). The performance of the best modified region 9 is improved by 138.3% and 106.6% compared with the surface of the unmodified material, respectively.
