Abstract
Variations in contact angle and surface potential for polyimide films modified in a plasma of low-frequency glow discharge in atmospheric ai r were studied for different durations of treatment and storage of sam ples under various conditions (in vacuum, air, or moist chamber). Thes e parameters were shown to correlate, thus suggesting that a change in wettability might be associated with formation of surface charge stat es in the polymer.
