| dc.description.resumo | This study investigates the surface modification of Sylgard®184 polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples through plasma treatments using two configurations: a mixed gas composition (acetylene, argon, and chloroform) and pure argon. The primary objective was to evaluate how these treatments affect the physicochemical properties of the surfaces and their drag-reduction capabilities. Analyses conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) revealed diverse morphologies and chemical compositions resulting from different treatment parameters. Key findings indicate that an optimal combination of surface roughness and hydrophobic functional groups, notably Si–CH3, and C = C bonds, is crucial for achieving superhydrophobic surfaces and effective drag reduction. Samples treated with the mixed gas configuration exhibited enhanced drag reduction capabilities, particularly those treated at 0.08 A for 60 min, which showed balanced roughness and film uniformity. Conversely, argon-treated samples displayed variable performance depending on treatment conditions, with the 0.08 A for 60 min of treatment demonstrating consistent drag reduction, especially at higher Reynolds numbers. The correlation between viscous sublayer thickness and surface roughness underscored the significance of surface morphology in fluid–surface interactions. While high roughness increased flow resistance under turbulent conditions, moderate roughness maintained drag reduction efficiency. These findings highlight the practical importance of optimizing plasma treatment parameters to develop effective superhydrophobic surfaces for various applications, contributing to advancements in industries where drag reduction is critical | |
