The effect of electric discharge plasma on various aromatic polymers has been studied. When the oxygen plasma causes the destruction processes and oxidation only in thin surface layers the hydrogen plasma causes the changes of polymer structure in much deeper ones (up to 100-200 mcm). The long-term stability of polymers in electric discharge plasma is compared with that in “Xenotest.”
