Polyimide yarn as a kind of high performance fiber material has to improve the adhesion between the material surface and the resin in order to get a deeper application. The surface of polyimide yarn is modified by low temperature plasma treatment, and the effect of plasma treatment parameters on the adhesion between polyimide yarn and polypropylene resin is studied. By comparing the extraction force on the surface of polyimide yarn before and after treatment, the effect of plasma treatment parameters such as treatment time, processing gas and treating power on yarn adhesion is investigated. Furthermore, the adhesive force between polyimide yarn and polypropylene resin is analyzed by a single factor to optimize the process parameters to obtain higher adhesive force. Additionally, the Box–Behnken design is utilized to optimize the plasma treatment parameters, and the significance of the influence of the plasma treatment parameters on the adhesion between the polyimide fiber and the resin is discussed. The optimal process parameters are obtained through analysis: the treatment time 90 s, the processing gas oxygen, and the treating power 150 W.
