Abstract
The surface of several plasma-treated polymers after their tensile drawing is examined by microscopic study. This process is accompanied by the development of a surface micropattern that is characteristic of the rigid coating on a soft substratum system. The modified surface layer forms even during short-time plasma treatment (less than one minute). Treatment of the polymer and any further treatment insignificantly changes its mechanical properties. The mechanical characteristics (breaking strength and the elongation at break) of the plasma-modified surface PET layers are quantitatively estimated, and these characteristics are shown to be sensitive to the physical state of the polymer support.
