Abstract
The results of measurements of the rates of mass loss, formation of gaseous products, and oxygen consumption during the surface treatment of polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(ethylene terephthalate), and polyimide films in a low-pressure oxygen plasma are reported. It was shown that CO2 and H2O were produced in the same process involving O(3 P) atoms for all polymers, and the kinetic characteristics of the process were determined. The specific features of the plasma-enhanced oxidative degradation associated with the chemical composition of repeating units of these materials are discussed.
