Surface modification of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film using acrylic acid-corona treatment: Part I. Properties and characterization of treated films

► We present a new approach for the surface treatment of BOPP films in a single step and at ambient condition. ► This method is simple, inline operation and cost effective which is highly beneficial for the film industries. ► AAc-corona treated films display high wettability. ► Oxygen-containing functional groups on treated film surface were examined with curve-fitting of FTIR spectra.
