Surface composition analysis of PP films treated by corona discharge

Polypropylene films (PP) surface treated by corona discharge in air was analyzed to verify the changes on surface composition. The presence of oxidized polar groups on the film surface, mainly, C=O, C-O and COH, was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) reve...
