- reduced tack compared with untreated surfaces
- smoother surfaces with reduced friction
- hydrophilic i.e. water-wettable
- concave menisci with water
- contact angles drop from 105° to 30°
- surface free energy increases from 22 mN/m to approx. 56 mN/m - reduced electrostatic charging
- surface resistivity drops from 1015 to 106 Ohm - altered permeability
- increased permeability to polar compounds, e.g. water
- decreased permeability to lipophilic (hydrophobic) compounds, e.g. oil
Tune these and other properties according your requirements.
