Abstract
⺠Hydrophobic recovery of air plasma treated polyethylene films was studied. ⺠Plasma treated polymer films were immersed into liquids with various polarities. ⺠Immersion into high polarity liquids slowed markedly the hydrophobic recovery. ⺠Hydrophobic recovery is governed by the dipole-dipole interaction of molecules of polymer and liquid. ⺠Cooling renders restoring of hydrophobicity of plasma irradiated films.
