Abstract
This paper has reported the effect of oxygen and argon plasma treatments of CIIR rubber using Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) and surface energy measurements. Plasma treatment led to changes in the surface energy from 31 to 45.7 mN/m. Plasma treatment conditions influenced both the changes in surface energy and stability, and they also became more difficult to obtain good contact angle measurements. However, plasma treatments made the interfacial properties to be stabilized. ATR measurements revealed that changes in surface energy with treatment time are due mostly to increased oxygen functionality.
