Abstract
The effect of a low-frequency glow discharge on the surface properties of polypropylene Films was studied. It was shown that plasma treatmen t results in a substantial surface hydrophilization that was retained for a long time. The plasma-treated polymer is characterized by high s urface energy mainly due to the polar component. By LR attenuated tota l reflectance spectroscopy, it was shown that the glow discharge treat ment produced, in the polypropylene film surface layer, a great number of polar oxygen-containing groups of different nature responsible for hydrophilicity of the modified polymer.
