“…PS is another inherently hydrophobic material (surface energy = 43 kJ m −2 ) which should be exhibiting higher surface energies for use in packaging industry. Corona treatment of PS decreased the contact angles to a large extent . It is imperative to study the response of various polymers to the input power levels of the corona treatment.…”

Low cost, controlled crystallinity, chemical, and mechanical stability enable application of polymers in energy, water, electronics, and biomedical industries. Recent studies have shown that tailoring surface properties of polymers impacts their durability and functionality in these applications. However, the functionality and performance of polymer‐based devices and systems are greatly affected by the modification method and the process parameters, highlighting the need for understanding these methods and their mechanisms of operation in detail. The selection of the modification method invariably decides the properties enhanced in the polymer. In this review, various polymer surface modification treatments are discussed. These methods are categorized into physical, chemical, thermal, and optical ways, while illustrating their advantages and disadvantages. This review also explores the surface modification of polymers by patterning which encompasses one or more surface treatment methods. An application‐oriented study is presented discussing the relative importance of a method pertaining to a specific field of end‐application.

“…A measure of the state of the outer layer of the coating is the free surface energy, which is used to assess phenomena associated with adsorption, wetting and adhesion. In the case of products made from plastics with a modified outer layer the method employed for determining the free surface energy is based on measuring the wetting angle [3,18,19]. Of the many known methods for assessing this angle, the most important is direct measurement using a goniometer; the result serves as a basis for calculating the free surface energy [20,21].…”
