Abstract

The results of measurements of the rates of oxygen consumption and gaseous product formation at the initial stage of the action of an oxygen plasma and its flow-afterglow zone on the surface of low-density polyethylene films are given. It was found that degradation is a multichannel process in both plasma and afterglow zones, which begins with the abstraction of hydrogen molecules without the direct binding of gas-phase oxygen. Conceivable channel mechanisms are discussed.
