Abstract
Oxygen plasma treatment as a surface functionalization technique is discussed. Oxygen-containing functionalities were introduced on the surface of high- (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) by glow discharge. The number of surface hydroxyl groups was increased by a post-discharge wet treatment in a reducing solution. The effects of the substrate nature, the discharge parameters, and the post-discharge wet treatment on the surface functional groups are discussed, and the effectiveness of functionalized surfaces on the yield of coupling reactions is shown.Keywords
