الملخصHerein, the surface treatment of polyurethane (PU) films via air, O2, N2, Ar, and their mixtures were tested. The treatment was performed to incorporate new polar functionalities on the polymer surface and achieve improved hydrophilic characteristics. The PU films were subjected to RF low-temperature plasma treatment. It was found that plasma treatment immensely enhanced the hydrophilic surface properties of the PU films in comparison with those of the pristine samples; the maximum plasma effect occurred for the PU sample in the presence of air plasma with treatment time of 180 s at nominal power of 80 W. The surface topography was also found to vary with plasma exposure time and the type of gas being used due to the reactivity of the gaseous media. Roughness analysis revealed that at higher treatment times, the etching/degradation of the surface became more pronounced. Surface chemistry studies revealed increased O2 and N2 elemental groups on the surface upon exposure to O2, N2, air, and Ar. Additionally, the aging study revealed that samples treated in the presence of air and Ar were more stable in comparison to those of the other gases for both the contact angle and peel test measurements. 2020 by the authors.
