Oxidation of polyethylene surfaces by remote plasma discharge: A comparison study with alternative oxidation methods

摘要: The reaction rates and products of remote oxygen plasma treatment, corona discharge, ozone treatment high low density polyethylenes have been examined using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. uptake by was faster than that other surface treatments excited species. A steady state concentration 18 ± 1% can be attained within 1 s exposure in the plasma.
