Abstract

The adhesion properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films modified by direct current discharge at an anode and cathode have been studied. Adhesion interactions of these films with polypyromellitimide, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene modified by plasma using various adhesives have been considered. It has been shown that direct current discharge on PET films significantly improves their adhesion characteristics due to the increase in the number of oxygen-containing groups on their surface and the formation of more developed rough surface.
