Abstract

He/CF4-fed GDBDs were used to fluorinate PP and PET. The effect of various process parameters on the polymers surface composition and morphology, as well as on their wettability was investigated inside the GDBD existence domain. An extensive surface fluorination of treated polymers due to the grafting of F atoms and CFx radicals was observed. The increase of CF4 concentration in the feed, of treatment duration, and of excitation frequency resulted in an increase of the fluorination degree corresponding to F/C ratios as high as 1.18 and 1.22 for PP and PET, respectively. The emission spectra of GDBDs fed by helium in mixture with CF4, CHF3, C2F6 and C3F8 were compared.
