Understanding polyethylene surface functionalization by an atmospheric He-O plasma through combined experiments and simulation
Thierry Dufour, Johan Minnebo, Sami Abou Rich +3
High density polyethylene surfaces were exposed to the atmospheric post-discharge of a radiofrequency plasma torch supplied in helium and oxygen. Dynamic water contact angle measur…

LDPE Surface Modifications Induced by Atmospheric Plasma Torches with Linear and Showerhead Configurations
Sami Abou Rich, Thierry Dufour, Perrine Leroy +3
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces have been plasma modified to improve their nanostructural and wettability properties. These modifications can significantly improve the dep…

Low-density polyethylene films treated by an atmospheric Ar--O2 post-discharge: functionalization, etching, degradation and partial recovery of the native wettability state
Sami Abou Rich, Thierry Dufour, P Leroy +3
To optimize the adhesion of layers presenting strong barrier properties on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces, we investigated the influence of argon and argon-oxygen atmosph…
