Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a shaped article of a fluorine-containing synthetic resin having improved surface properties such as increased wettability with water, printability, susceptibility to adhesive bonding and less accumulation of static electricity. The improved shaped article is obtained by subjecting the surface of the article to exposure to low temperature plasma generated in a low pressure atmosphere of a nitrogen-containing gaseous organic compound such as amines, imides and amides.
