Surface Treatment of Polypropylene for Adhesive Bonding

Abstract
The CASING (crosslinking by activated species of inert gases) treatment of polypropylene film in both oxygen and nitrous oxide is shown to be an effective surface treatment for conventional adhesive bonding. A crosslinked surface extending to a depth of about 300 Å, apparently independent of exposure time, is produced in both excited oxygen and nitrous oxide.
