Abstract
Studies of the loss and recovery of hydrophobicity on silicone rubber surfaces during different plasma treatments and following storage at ambient atmosphere are presented. The plasma gases were oxygen, air, nitrogen and argon. Attempts were made to understand correlation between the chemical state of surface, its hydrophobicity and plasma nature. The changes in the chemical state were investigated by means of chemiluminescence, infrared and differential scanning spectroscopic methods
