The effect of plasma treatment on surface characteristics of polyethylene terephthalate films was investigated using helium and oxygenated-helium atmospheric plasmas. Sample exposure to plasma was conducted in a closed ventilation test cell inside the main plasma chamber with variable exposure times. The percent weigh loss of the samples showed an initial increase followed by decrease with extended exposure time, indicating a combined mechanism of etching and redeposition. The wettability as measured by the contact angle showed a sharp initial increase followed by a steady-state trend with increased exposure time, suggesting a change in surface functionality. Atomic force microscopy analysis revealed increase in surface roughness, as well as evidence of redeposition of etched volatiles. Functionality changes were measured using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and these changes were correlated to the new plasma-induced properties. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.

The wetting properties of polyamide 6 rods treated with radiofrequency (RF) low-temperature plasma (LTP) using three different non-polymerizing gases (air, nitrogen and water vapour) were determined using the Wilhelmy contact-angle technique. Information on the acidic or basic nature of the ionizable groups generated on the rod surface was obtained using contact-angle titration. The wettability obtained depends on the plasma gas used, and it tends to decrease with time elapsed after the treatment when the samples are kept in an air environment. However, the wettability can be recovered by immersion of the aged samples in water. The degree of recovery depends on the plasma gas used and the highest recovery was obtained with water vapour plasma treated samples. Both ageing and recovery behaviour can be attributed to the reorganisation of hydrophilic groups which tend to reversibly migrate or orient towards the bulk phase depending on the storage conditions, although other factors can also have influence.

A new surface modification technique for PET films is proposed. This technique, called VPI modification technique, is a combination of two processes: The first step involves the deposition of vinylphthalimide (VPI) on the PET film surfaces, followed by Ar plasma irradiation of the VPI-covered film surfaces. The VPI modification technique led to large increases in the N/C atom ratio on the PET film surfaces. On the VPI-modified PET film surface, a new Nls peak containing two components due to amide groups as well as imide groups appeared. The Cls signal for the VPI-modified PET film surface also showed a new component due to ketone groups. These changes indicate that VPI reacted with the PET film surfaces to form nitrogen-containing groups. VPI modification made PET film surfaces hydrophilic. The VPI-modified film surfaces showed a decrease in water contact angle from 73 degrees to 48–56 degrees.
1251. Shen, W., B. Hutton, and F. Liu, “A new understanding on the mechanism of fountain solution in the prevention of ink transfer to the non-image area in conventional offset lithography,” J. Adhesion Science and Technology, 18, 1861-1887, (2004).
In conventional offset lithographic printing, it has been well established that the existence of a continuous layer of fountain solution (FS) on the surface of the non-image area is an essential condition to ensure correct operation of lithography. However, the mechanistic function of FS in preventing the ink from being transferred onto the non-image area has not been fully understood. Several major mechanistic interpretations can be found in the literature, which are based either on comparing of static works of adhesion and cohesion of ink and FS, or on the splitting of the 'weaker' FS layer. Although the latter becomes more accepted, direct experimental evidence is difficult to find in the literature. On the other hand, confusing information found in the literature showed that the ink-transfer (or non-transfer) observations reported in many case studies correlate well with simple comparisons of works of adhesion, cohesion and spreading data of ink/FS, ink/plate and FS/plate obtained under the static condition. These results, therefore, imply that, in explaining the function of FS in preventing ink transfer to the non-image area, the ink/FS interfacial adhesion failure would be the dominant mechanism. The work presented in this study covered two specific areas in order to address and better understand the responses of ink and FS layers and their interface to forces encountered during ink transfer. Firstly, an analysis of lithographic plates contaminated with a cationic polymer revealed that the violation of the ink non-transfer condition of the plate non-image area due to contamination could be predicted by traditional criteria of plate wetting and works of adhesion and cohesion. However, these traditional criteria cannot reliably predict the non-transfer condition of the ink on the clean non-image area that was covered by FS. Secondly, in some novel experiments conducted in this study using ice or Teflon as a substrate, the works of adhesion and cohesion were not able to predict ink transfer in most cases. Direct experimental evidence from this work revealed that splitting of the FS layer was involved in the prevention of ink transfer to the non-image areas, and that the thickness of the FS layer was critical in allowing the splitting to occur.

Oxygen plasma-treated quenched and annealed polypropylene (PP) films with different crystallinities were investigated to characterize the surface rearrangement behavior during aging using contact-angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Optimum plasma conditions were examined by varying the power, time and pressure. Less crystalline quenched PP showed a larger increase in water contact angle and a larger decrease of oxygen atomic concentration during aging than the more crystalline annealed PP, since the oxygen species, such as hydroxyl groups, introduced by oxygen plasma treatment, oriented towards or diffused faster into the bulk with lower crystallinity. The degree of crosslinking on the surface was enhanced after plasma treatment and, in addition to increased crystallinity, the crosslinked structure induced by plasma treatment restricted chain mobility and lowered the aging rate of the PP surface.

Poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) surfaces were exposed to vacuum UV (VUV) photo-oxidation downstream from Ar microwave plasma. The modified surfaces showed the following: (1) an improvement in wettability as observed by water contact angle measurements; (2) surface roughening; (3) defluorination of the surface; and (4) incorporation of oxygen as CF—O—CF2, CF2—O—CF2 and CF—O—CF3 moieties. With long treatment times, a cohesive failure of copper sputter-coated onto the modified surface occurred within the modified FEP and not at the Cu–FEP interface.
