Aramid is widely recognized for its effectiveness as a matrix in high-performance composite materials. However, the inert nature of surface necessitates plasma pretreatment proper resin immersion. With particular focus on interactions involving O radicals, this study employs Vacuum Ultra-Violet Photolysis Reactive-species Supply to investigate interaction mechanisms between aramid and reactive species. The water contact angle serves an indicator degree reactions, demonstrating clear correlation reduction concentration radicals. Analysis using ATR-FTIR XPS revealed depletion amide groups formation hydroxyl during treatment process. Through molecular dynamics simulations, we identified specific reaction sites quantified variations typical products. We also summarized pathways confirmed generation polar structures, such N-OH. This offers valuable theoretical insights modification polymers contributes advancements industrial technology.
