| Description | Plasma treatment of polymers is frequently used for increasing the surface energy in order to improve wettability and adhesion properties. In this paper the changes of surface properties (surface energy, surface atomic composition, roughness) plasma modified polyethylene was studied. High density polyethylene was treated using Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge in ambient air. Surface energy was estimated using sessile drop contact angle measurement. Through this changes in chemical composition were analyzed via XPS. The surface roughness was investigated using AFM. |
