Abstract
The effect of dc discharge on norbornene-ethylene copolymer films containing 30 and 60% norbornene was studied. It was found that plasma treatment leads to substantial changes in the surface properties of the copolymer, the enhancement of wettability, and an increase in the work of adhesion and surface energy, including its polar term. The change in the surface structure of the films was investigated by means of Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy. Transparent and colorless triplexes with a light transmission of 86–90% were prepared on the basis of the discharge-modified copolymer films and a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin.
