Description Diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) was used to activate the opposite side of the plasma-exposed linear low-density polyethylene/polyamide (LLDPE/PA) tubular film of multilayer casing. We determined that conductive metal rubber roller in the DCSBD system allowed the formation of microfilaments perpendicular to the film surface, resulting in improved wettability and adhesion of inner LLDPE side of the tubular film. These findings were supported by increasing the concentration of polar functional groups. Based on these remarkable outcomes obtained after a very short plasma exposure time of 0.5 s, DCSBD roll-to-roll system in proper arrangement affords adhesion improvement of the opposite side of the treated film without any material damage, hence can compete with industrial corona in commercial sphere of plasma treatments.
