Abstract
The cellophane films were grafted with PAN for various time durations in magnetron enhanced air plasma. A magnetron-coupled plasma system wa s developed for the purpose. The rates of polymer deposition and etchi ng were studied. The changes occurring in the angle of contact of wate r were studied. The attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopic studies confirmed the grafting of cellophane surface by polyacrylonit rile (PAN). The water vapor transmission rates through the grafted sam ples were also studied. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
