Abstract
A device and method for enhancing adhesion between an embedded filler component and surrounding thermoplastic matrix which together form a composite material. The filler component is subjected to plasma discharge and subsequently maintained in an inert environment to protect the treated surface area against premature exposure to reactive substances. While maintained in this inert environment, the treated surface is coated with a thermoplastic polymer and solidified. This coated filler is then capable of processing into composite materials. The device comprises an enclosure which is adapted which includes a containment space and environment control for maintaining inert conditions during application of plasma discharge and coating with thermoplastic polymer.
