The increasing use of polymer materials in technology fields has forced the need to overcome some of their limitations by means of innovative processing. Polypropylene is increasingly being used for this industry applications due to their advantageous properties. Cold plasma treatment represents an efficient, clean and practical use of metal-polymer layers in microelectronics and optoelectroics. The work deals with charakterisation of plasma irradiated PP plates. Samples were exposed to argon plasma discharge. Wettability and aging of surface was studied by goniometry, contact angle and surface energy measured. Surface morphology of PP was determinedby AFM. Chemical structure of modified PP was studied using XPS. Characterisation of modified layer was done by RBS. With increasing time from the plasma exposure of PP the contact angle increases. The oxygen containing groups were found on a surface after modification.
