Chemical modification of the surface of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film was performed with an aqueous solution of ammoniacal ammonium persulfate in the presence of Ni 2+ ions, where the polar groups were generated on the surface of the LDPE film. The surface of the LDPE film was modified chemically with an ammoniacal solution of ammonium persulfate (1.1 M ) and Ni(SO 4 ) 2 (0.02 M ) heated at about 70°C for 3 h. The morphologies of the surfaces were studied with scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy; electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis revealed the introduction of polar groups on the surface, which improved printability and adhesion properties. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
