“…The ageing effect was studied over a period of 21 days, emphasizing the first moments after the treatment with APP. This agrees with Borcia et al, that declare that most of the recovery occurs during the first 2 days after the plasma treatment and all further evolutions seem to be less important 19 .Contact angle measurements were made in order to study the changes of surface free energy, using the Owens-Wendt method. AFM and weight loss were used in order to study the surface morphology and the etching effect of the surface morphology and the etching effect of the LDPE treated sheets.…”

One of the major disadvantages of low density polyethylene (LDPE) sheets is their poor adhesive properties. Therefore, LDPE sheets have been treated with atmospheric pressure air plasma (APP) in order to improve their surface properties. In order to simulate the possible conditions in an industrial process, the samples have been treated with two different sample distances (6 and 10 mm) and treatment rates between 100 and 1000 mm·s -1 . The variation of the surface properties and adhesion characteristics of the sheets were investigated for different aging times after plasma exposure (up to 21 days) using contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), weight loss measurements and shear test. Results show that the treatment increases the polar component (γ s p ) and these changes improve adhesive properties of the material. After the 21 st day, the ageing process causes a decrease of wettability and adhesive properties of the LDPE sheets (up to 60%).

“…Therefore, it can be considered as an environmentally benign technology. Moreover, it is a versatile technique that only affects the first few atomic layers at the surface without affecting the bulk properties [3,4]. Plasmas can induce topographical modifications, [5] change the chemical composition [3] of a surface and can also be used for cleaning and deposition purposes.…”

In the preceding works the method has already shown its effectiveness, using different types of non-thermal plasmas operating at low, medium or atmospheric pressure [6][7][8][9][10].…”

The surface properties of polyethylene can successfully be altered using argon plasmas. In this work, the surface modification of low density polyethylene (LDPE) using an argon atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is profoundly investigated. The surface modification is examined using different analysing techniques namely, water contact angle (WCA) measurements for the wettability and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the chemical composition. Particular attention is paid to the treatment distance between the plasma jet capillary and the LDPE foil and the applied treatment time. At treatment distances between 5 and 15 mm, the WCA can be reduced with more than 70% within a treatment time of a few ms. XPS measurements reveal that this is due to the incorporation of oxygen containing groups and especially the increased implementation of the O-C=O group has a big influence. At treatment distances above 15 mm, the wettability decreases with increasing treatment distance. The wettability can however be enhanced by increasing the treatment time. Ageing considerations show that the loss in treatment efficiency is restricted to only 25%, meaning that even after 14 days of ageing the WCA reduction upon plasma treatment is still more than 40%. Based on the above mentioned results, the most appropriate parameters can thus be selected to provide an efficient plasma treatment of LDPE using the argon APPJ.3

“…Polymers have been applied successfully in the fields such as adhesion [1][2][3], biomaterials [4,5], protective coatings, friction and wear-resistant composites, microelectronic devices [6] and thin film technology. Polymeric materials have been able to replace traditional engineering materials like metals and glass because of their high strength to weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, possibility of recycling and their relatively low cost.…”
