Abstract: The effect of treatment by the radio frequency (RF) nitrogen plasma of magnetron discharge on surface modification of polymer thin films was studied. The dependence of surface roughness and wettability on the plasma exposure time was investigated. It was shown that increasing the treatment time in the nitrogen plasma in the range of 0-20 seconds reduces wetting angle from 110° to 69°. Also, it was observed a non-monotonic dependence of the roughness index in the range of 1,54-18,9 nm.
