Abstract
Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharges (SDBD) plasma treatment has been performed to produce uniform atmospheric plasmas in He and in open air in order to functionalize the polycarbonate surface. SDBD is used for different application, processing especially of low-cost polymeric materials, combining the advantages of non-equilibrium plasma properties with the ease of atmospheric-pressure operation. Contact angle measurements were used to record the short-and long - term variations in wettability of treated and untreated polycarbonate sheets. The modification process was determined with hydrophilic measurements evaluated by means of the SEE system drop test.
