Hydrophobic Recovery of Plasma-Hydrophilized Polyethylene Terephthalate Polymers

Oxygen plasma is widely used for enhancing the wettability of numerous polymers, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The treatment with plasma containing oxygen will cause surface functionalization with polar functional groups, which will, in turn, improve the wettability. However, the exact...
