“…For PS, the oxygen plasma treatment was clearly the most efficient way to make the surface hydrophilic and complete wetting was observed on those surfaces for both treatment times. The level of recovery of the dry stored oxygen plasma treated samples was the least of all the samples in this study and at the end of the experiment the contact angles of the longer and shorter oxygen plasma treated samples had recovered to around 18 and around 30 , respectively. These results agree well with previous reports of highly hydrophilic oxygen plasma treated PS surfaces.…”

“…Furthermore, plasma hydrophilization can be used for improved adhesion and bonding of polymers. [16][17][18] Typically, polymer surfaces exposed to oxygen or nitrogen plasmas become more hydrophilic due to formation of high energy surface groups in reactions between the native surface groups of the polymer and the reactive plasma species. 19,20 In addition to surface chemistry, plasma treatment also often affects the surface topography, [20][21][22][23] which further enhances the effect of the surface chemistry on the contact angle.…”

“…Tiny surface pores were also apparent ranging from 0.25 to 1 ÎŒm in diameter in the nanocomposite films [55], [56]. AFM topographic imaging revealed that the height of the surface profile was reduced substantially, and roughness measurements confirmed that the RMS, R a , and R z decreased in value after plasma treatment [15], [47], [59]. Generally, the lower the R a value, the smoother the surface, and the lower the RMS value, the lower the variation in height of the mean, that is, a less variable surface roughness.…”

“…Embora existam muitos estudos de envelhecimento de polĂ­meros tratados por plasma [16,[21][22][23] , os polĂ­meros tratados por VUV tĂȘm sido negligenciados neste contexto [24] . Um fator importante na anĂĄlise da recuperação hidrofĂłbica Ă© o prĂłprio tratamento, pois dependendo das condiçÔes e do tipo de tratamento a recuperação hidrofĂłbica pode ser mais ou menos lenta [16,25,26] . Neste trabalho amostras de polipropileno foram tratadas por VUV e por plasma, sendo submetidas ao envelhecimento.…”
