Abstract

The surface conductivity of PTFE-copper oxide filled composites containing between 10 and 25% of the oxides increases significantly after treatment in a low pressure hydrogen plasma at temperatures below 100°C. The plasma-reduction of copper oxides (CuO and CuO/Cu2O mixture) was investigated and compared with thermal reduction at different hydrogen partial pressures.
