“…Its usage has become one of the most versatile and effective means for surface modification applied throughout the food industry, physics, chemistry, material science, and medicine [17]. Several other surface modification strategies include flame, UV, and direct fluorination [18][19][20][21][22][23]. However, plasma technology has gained more preference over other techniques because it represents an alternative effective, clean, dry, economical, and environmentally friendly method.…”

Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface properties of treated LDPE were qualitatively and quantitatively characterized using various analytical and microscopic techniques. It was found that the optimum plasma treatment for LDPE occurs in the presence of air plasma at an exposure time of 120 s and 80 W of nominal power. The plasma formed layer had tendency to increasing thickness with increasing treatment time up to 60 s using air and oxygen and even more with inert gases. An aging study of plasma-treated LDPE samples stored in ambient air or water medium revealed the partial hydrophobic recovery.

Photografting ( Ͼ 300 nm) of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) binary monomers (NIPAAm/GMA) on low-density polyethylene film (thickness ϭ 30 m) was investigated at 60°C using mixed solvent consisting of water and an organic solvent such as acetone. Xanthone was used as a photoinitiator by coating it on the film surfaces. A maximum percentage of grafting was observed at a certain concentration of acetone in the mixed solvent, which was commonly observed for both ratios of NIPAAm/GMA, 8/2 and 7/3. Based on the photografting of NIPAAm/GMA on xanthonecoated film, monomer reactivity ratios of NIPAAm (r 1 ) and GMA (r 2 ) were calculated using the Fineman-Ross method. The values were 0.31 Ϯ 0.1 and 4.8 Ϯ 0.2 for the water solvent system, while they were 0.96 Ϯ 0.1 and 4.9 Ϯ 0.1 for the mixed solvent system. NIPAAm/GMA-grafted films with a homogeneous distribution of grafted chains were formed by photografting using water and mixed solvents. The NIPAAm/GMA-grafted films exhibited temperatureresponsive characters, whereas the grafted films showed a reversible change in the degree of swelling between 0 and 50°C, respectively. Epoxy groups in the grafted poly-(NIPAAm/GMA) chains could be aminated with ethylenediamine in N,NЈ-dimethylformamide at 70°C for 3 h. Complexes of the aminated NIPAAm/GMA-grafted chains with cupric ion exhibited catalytic activity for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at 20 to 50°C.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was photografted with the low-and high-density polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE) plates to provide their surfaces with autohesive and adhesive properties. The chemical composition and wettability of the GMA-grafted LDPE and HDPE (LDPE-g-PGMA and HDPE-g-PGMA) plates remained constant above full coverage of the surfaces with grafted PGMA chains. Autohesive strength obtained with 1,4-dioxane as a good solvent of PGMA increased with an increase in the grafted amount and substrate breaking was observed at the grafted amount of 117 mmol/cm 2 . The grafted amount at substrate breaking was decreased by increasing the temperature and load during heat pressing. Adhesive strength was effectively enhanced by use of multi-functional amine compounds because of the increase in the reaction between primary or secondary amine groups and epoxy groups appended to the grafted PGMA chains. In addition, the decrease in the amine compound concentration and the increase in the number of amino groups in the amine compounds used led to the decrease in the grafted amounts at substrate breaking. Substrate breaking occurred at lower grafted amounts for the HDPE-g-PGMA plates than for the LDPE-g-PGMA plates because the location of the photografting was restricted to the outer surface region for the HDPE plate.
