Hydrophilization and hydrophobic recovery of polymers treated by 50Hz argon plasma

50Hz argon glow discharge plasma was used to treat the surface of polycarbonate (PC) and polypropylene (PP). These materials were treated for 10min under low pressure of 0.3mbar. Static water contact angle measurement showed there was a decrease in the contact angle on the surfaces of polymers after...
