Abstract

Corona‐treated polyethylene films have been reported to exhibit strong self‐adhesion when joined together under conditions of heat and pressure that give no adhesion with untreated films. The present study of this effect has shown that the adhesion is completely destroyed by the application of any hydrogen‐bonding liquid to the adhesive joint and that the effects of liquids is completely reversible. Joints allowed to dry recover full strength. These facts together with the results of chemical reactions conducted on the treated film surface have established that the adhesive bond is a hydrogen bond. Corona treatment forms keto groups on the polyethylene chain; these groups enolize and the enolic hydrogens bond with carbonyl groups in the adjacent sheet of film when two sheets are heated together under pressure.

Polyethylene (PE) film was treated by corona discharge and then grafted with N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) for modification of the surface. The grafted amount was determined by gravimetry and the surface morphology was observed by using a scanning electron microscope. The surface analysis was carrie
