    A review on surface modification of different polymers by treatment in oxygen plasma is presented. The following polymers were studied: polyethyleneterephthalate (PET), polyethersulphone (PES), ... polyphenylenesulfide(PPS), Nylon 6 polyamide (PA6), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP) and cellulose (ink-jet paper and textile). The polymer samples were treated for 3 s in oxygen plasma (glow region) at a pressure of 75 Pa. Plasma was created by RF generator operating at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and a power of 200 W. The chemical changes of the surface of the samples after the plasma treatment were monitored by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that oxygen plasma treatment is an effective tool for surface modification. On all polymer surfaces increased concentrating of oxygen was detected resulting in formationof several new oxygen-containing functional groups. Groups like C-O, C=O and O=C-O were observed. The concentration of the groups which were produced at the same treatment procedure depended on polymer type. The only exception was polymer PTFE where practically no chemical changes were observed.
