Abstract Films of polyethylene,
polystyrene, "Teflon"-fluorocarbon resin, "Mylar"
polyester film, "Kapton"-polyimide film, pyronne and "Kodacel"-cellulose
acetate butyrate film were exposed to the excited species produced in
microwave discharges of |

,. Water contact angles of the polymers decreased
significantly after exposure to each of the discharge species. The
predominant discharge species observed by emission spectroscopy on reaction
with the polymers
