The surface free energy and surface structure of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) film treated with low temperature plasma in O 2 , Ar, He, H 2 , NH 3 , and CH 4 gases are studied. The contact angles of the samples were measured, and the critical surface tension g c (Zisman) and g c (max) were deter

The surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film was modified by low-temperature plasma with O 2 , N 2 , He, Ar, H 2 , and CH 4 gases, respectively. After being treated by low-temperature plasma, their surface wettability and chemical composition were investigated by means of electron spectros
Polymer films of poly(ethylene terephthalate), polypropylene, and cellophane were surface treated with tetrafluoromethane plasma under different time, power, and pressure conditions. Contact angles for water and methylene iodide and surface energy were analyzed with a dynamic contact angle analyzer.
Plasma treatments typically affect only the outer few nanometers of a polymer surface and produce a complex mixture of surface functionalities. For a given plasma gas, the population of plasma-induced surface functionalities is influenced by several plasma parameters (power, pressure and residence t
Polystyrene and polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) coupons were exposed to r.f. plasmas containing helium, oxygen and nitrogen. The modified surfaces were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shortly following plasma treatment and after storage in air for about 360 days. The oxygen concent
