Effect of Atmospheric Plasma Treatment On Polymer Surface Energy and Adhesion
JOURNAL OF PLASTIC FILM & SHEETING(2007)
Abstract
This study describes experiments to quantify polymer surface energy changes after exposure to atmospheric plasma. Atmospheric plasma treatment permits surface functionalization at near-ambient temperatures. Polyethylene and polystyrene are treated with an atmospheric plasma unit. The increased surface energy and improved wetting characteristics lead to a significant adhesion improvement with adhesives that cannot be used without surface treatment.
