Abstract
A system for the functionalization of polyolefin fiber includes a reactor chamber, a fiber pulley system, and a precursor sprinkler system. The reactor chamber defines an interior reactor space and a plurality of fiber inlet/outlet pairs positioned at opposite ends of respective fiber processing axes. The fiber pulley system is arranged to direct polyolefin fiber through the plurality of fiber inlet/outlet pairs, along a fiber processing path comprising the respective fiber processing axes. The precursor sprinkler system is operable to aerosolize a precursor solution and contact the aerosolized precursor solution with the polyolefin fiber. A method for functionalizing polyolefin fiber includes aerosolizing the precursor solution to form an aerosolized precursor solution, passing polyolefin fiber along the fiber pulley system into the reactor chamber, contacting the polyolefin fiber with the aerosolized precursor solution, and passing functionalized polyolefin fiber out of the interior reactor space of the reactor chamber.
