Abstract
We have analyzed the modification of the texture of polymer particle surface in a dust plasma. Monodisperse spherical melamine formaldehyde particles were injected into the glow discharge plasma in neon. At a certain discharge current and gas pressure in the discharge tube, the particles were suspended in dust-plasma traps and experienced the action of the plasma of 5–25 min. Then, the particles were extracted and the collected material was studied using the scanning electron microscope. Among the results, a change in the diameter and roughness of the surface depending on the residence time of particles in the dust plasma was established. It was found that the absolute deviation of all points of the surface profile averaged over the evaluation length were in the nanometer range. The time of complete degradation of particles in the experimental conditions has been established.
