The surface modification of polyethylene (PE) by neutral nitrogen species (ground and excited state N2as well as atomic N; modified nitrogen plasma treatment) has been compared to the effect of nitrogen ion bombardment using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurements. XPS results indicate that a greater nitrogen concentration was grafted during the modified nitrogen plasma treatment of PE, an effect that was attributed to surface sputtering during ion beam modification. The distribution of nitrogen-containing functionalities was strongly dependent upon the treatment strategy; the modified nitrogen plasma treatment lead predominantly to imine groups being formed at the PE surface, while amine groups were the dominant species produced during ion beam modification. The presence of electron irradiation during the modified nitrogen plasma treatment of PE did not modify the rate of nitrogen incorporation or change the nature of N-containing functional groups produced but did lead to a systematic decrease in contact angle.
