Abstract
The previously observed, but unexplained, deleterious effect of high relative humidity on the efficiency of electrical (‘corona’) discharge treatment for rendering polypropylene film printable has been re-examined. The effect of film temperature during treatment has also been studied. A consistent explanation of both effects based on the degree of surface coverage by physically adsorbed water is put forward, supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of treated film surfaces.
