Improvement in adhesion of polyethylene by glow-discharge plasma

The means by which plasma treatment enhances the adhesion of polymer materials, remains obscure. Thus far, two possible mechanisms have been proposed: an increase in surface energy, and the anchor effects imparted by plasma etching. Independently from these mechanisms, reactions between free radical...
