It isa simple and fast method that allows the simultaneous treatment of outer and inner surfaces of complex shapedpolymeric materials. Poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fibers which are a very important class of material wassurface modified by direct fluorinaton. An extensive characterization of both the virgin and the fluorinated materialswere performed by various techniques (XRD, FT-IR, Surface energy and DSC, TGA). From these data, possibleeffects of fluorination are discussed.Defence Science Journal, Vol. 64, No. 3, May 2014, pp. 230-235, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.64.7321 ER -
