Abstract:Polystyrene (PS) finds diverse applications across various fields, often necessitating a hydrophilic PS surface. In this study, the PS films were prepared using PS–toluene solutions of 15, 20, and 25 mass percentage concentrations (% w/v). Here, the main focus is on the influence of concentration on the hydrophilization of the prepared PS thin films under atmospheric pressure air dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment. The contact angle, surface energy measurements, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier‐… Show more
