“…The introduction of oxygen containing polar groups on the polymer surface may be the main reason for the hydrophilic improvement. Since PET films were treated in air plasma, it is obvious that some nitrogen-containing group will be incorporated onto the surface [2,4,9]. For untreated polymer films, there is no N1s peak but for plasma treated one, there appears to be a small N1s peak.…”

“…On increasing the discharge potentials the degree of ionization of plasma increases, producing high amount of active species which react immediately on the polymer surface. This leads to incorporation of oxygen-containing polar groups such as C=O, O-C=O and OH on the plasma treated film surface causing a decrease in contact angle [9][10]. Figure 1b illustrates the variation of contact angle of PET film w.r.t.…”

“…There are various methods to calculate solid surface energy from contact angle measurements, but the break-up of surface energy in terms of its polar and dispersed components can be determined only by using Fowkes' method [8]. The surface energy was calculated from contact angle measurement using Fowkes' approximation as follows [9]. where θ is the angle of contact.…”

In this investigation, the surface modification of poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) film induced by air plasma has been investigated using contact angle measurement, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and ATR‐FTIR spectroscopy. Plasma treatment affects the polymer surfaces to an extent of several hundreds to several thousand angstroms deep, and the bulk properties of the polymer substrate are never modified because of its low penetration range. Plasma surface treatment also offers the advantage of greater chemical flexibility. The plasma exposure leads to weight loss and changes in the chemical composition of the polymer film surfaces. The contact angle of water shows decrease in surface wettability of PVDF and PMMA as the treatment time increases. The improvement in adhesion was studied by measuring T‐peel strength. In addition, printability of plasma treated PVDF and PMMA was studied by cross test method. It was found that printability increases considerably for plasma treatment of short duration. Surface energy and surface roughness can be directly correlated to the improvement in the aforementioned surface related properties. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2009. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers

Of the several techniques available for surface modification, plasma processing has proved to be very appropriate. The low temperature plasma is a soft radiation source and it affects the material only over a few hundred angstroms deep, the bulk properties remaining unaffected. Plasma surface treatment also offers the advantage of greater chemical flexibility. The improvement in adhesion was studied by measuring T-peel strength. In addition, printability of plasma-treated PE films was studied by cross test method. It was found that printability increases considerably for plasma treatment of short duration. It was therefore thought of as interesting to study the surface composition and morphology by contact angle measurement, ESCA, and AFM. Surface energy and surface roughness can be directly correlated to the improvement in above-mentioned surface-related properties.
