Determination of optimal plasma treatment time of polypropylene

Plasma treatment is one of the most used surface treatment method to improve adhesion of the materials. Plasma treatment is especially used to treat polymer surfaces as polymers typically have very low surface free energy. This leads to adhesion failures when coatings are applied.
