The interaction of an X-ray-modified self-assembled monolayer with a mixture of atomic and molecular oxygen (O/O 2 ) has been studied using in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Initially the reaction dynamics are dominated by the incorporation of new oxygen containing functionality at the vacuum/film interface. At intermediate O/O 2 exposures, when a steady-state concentration of C-O, CdO, and O-CdO groups has been established, the production of volatile carbon-containing species, including CO 2 , is responsible for etching the hydrocarbon film. Upon prolonged O/O 2 exposures, O atoms penetrate to the film/substrate interface, producing Au 2 O 3 and sulfonate (RSO 3 ) species. Under steady-state conditions, the thickness of the hydrocarbon film was reduced with an efficiency of ≈7.4 × 10 -4 Å/impingent O atom while the average penetration depth of O atoms within the hydrocarbon film was determined to be ≈5.5 Å.

“…As a result, surface modification of PLA is usually necessary. In this context, plasma technology is an excellent surface modification methodology, since it does not require the use of water or chemicals and since there is no waste production involved [3][4][5][6]. However, it should be pointed out that the induced plasma modification of the surface is not permanent since the surface tends to recover to the untreated state [7][8][9].…”

The effect of a plasma treatment on polymers is not permanent, since the treated surfaces tend to recover to the untreated state (ageing process). This paper investigates the influence of discharge atmosphere on the ageing behaviour of plasma-treated PLA foils: these foils are plasma-treated with a DBD in 4 different atmospheres (air, nitrogen, argon and helium) and are subsequently stored in air. Results of contact angle and XPS measurements show that the discharge gas has a significant influence on the ageing behaviour of the PLA foils. This influence can be explained by the different cross-linking degree of the plasma-treated surfaces: helium and argon plasma-treated PLA films have a high cross-linking degree, which limits polymer chain mobility and as a result reduces the ageing process. In contrast, the ageing behaviour of air and nitrogen plasma-treated films is more pronounced due to their low cross-linking degree.

“…Traditional surface treatments are mostly liquid chemical processes, however, the ecological requirements force the industry to search for alternative environmentally friendly methods. In this context, plasma technology is an excellent surface modification methodology, since it does not require the use of water or chemicals and since there is no waste production involved [1,[6][7][8]. Plasmas (also known as the fourth state of matter) contain a mixture of different active species, such as ions, electrons, atoms, free radicals, etc.…”
