Viscoelastic properties of plasma-treated low-density polyethylene surfaces determined by nanoscale dynamic mechanical analysis

Nanoscale dynamic mechanical analysis (nanoDMA) was used to determine changes in surface viscoelastic properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) due to Ar plasma treatment. The experimental results show that the exposure of LDPE to high-power plasma produces a more solid-like response compared to...
