To avoid chemical destructions of macromolecules at the polymer surface and to obtain maximum improvement in adhesion properties the short‐time exposure to plasma is a good choice. Enhanced quality of surface functionalization can be reached by chemical conversion of plasma introduced functional groups. Additionally, molecular and supermolecular orientations of the macromolecules and their re‐arrangement by plasma exposure influence the adhesion properties of polymers. Atmospheric pressure plasma is generally suitable for high‐speed surface modification of polymers.
