Abstract: A polymeric sheet structure consists of an adhesion-promoting coating on at least one surface of the substrate. The adhesion-improving coating is produced by treating this substrate surface with an electrical corona discharge between high voltage electrodes and a grounded counter-electrode while simultaneously spraying an aerosol into the corona discharge zone. The aerosol contains, for example, an aqueous emulsion of thermoplastic and/or crosslinkable components as an adhesion-promoting agent.

It exhibits the following features: at least one of its two surfaces exhibits a surface tension of at least 43 mN/m without an adhesion promoter having been added; the modulus of elasticity in the machine direction and/or transverse direction is greater than 5800 N/mm.sup.2 ; and the refractive index perpendicular to the film plane is less than or equal to 1.4900.

Abstract: A laminated material having a latent inherent delamination potential which contains at least one layer comprising a thermoplastic, wherein the thermoplastic carries, at least on one side, a release layer of water-soluble or water-dispersible organic material. The material can be delaminated by a process of chopping the material and treating the material with water or steam. The laminated material is useful as, for example, a packaging material. The material can easily be delaminated into its individual layers, thus facilitating recycling of the materials.

Abstract: A self-supporting sheet-like structure comprises a coating, which reduces sliding friction, on at least one surface of the substrate. The slip-improving coating is produced by treating this substrate surface by means of an electric corona discharge between a high voltage electrode and a grounded counter-electrode while simultaneously spraying an aerosol into the corona discharge zone. The aerosol contains a film-forming agent as a slip agent, for example aqueous solutions or emulsions of monoesters of glycerol and long-chain fatty acids.

Abstract: Moldings having a thickness of 1 to 60 mm and made of flexible webs or rigid sheet of plastic are passed through a corona discharge treatment system consisting of high-voltage electrodes and a counter-electrode and a high-frequency alternating current voltage of 20 to 25 kHz and 20 to 70 kV is applied to the high-voltage electrodes by a generator. A corona discharge forms in the gap between the high-voltage electrodes and the counter-electrode. An aerosol formed by atomizing a liquid is blown into the corona discharge zone by means of an air or gas stream. The aerosol modifies the surface of the sheet-like molding in the desired manner.

Abstract: A self-supporting sheet-like article is described which is comprised of a substrate layer and an antistatic coating applied to at least one surface of the substrate layer. The antistatic coating is produced by the treatment of at least one surface of the substrate layer with an electrical corona discharge which runs between a live electrode and a counter electrode. Simultaneously, i.e. during the corona discharge, an aerosol is introduced into the corona discharge area, which aerosol contains an antistatic agent. Furthermore, a procedure for the production of a self-supporting sheet-like article with an antistatic coating as well as a firmly adhering antistatic coating on a polymer substrate are described.

Abstract: Pretreating the surface of electrically conducting molded materials, such as metal foil or plastic films in whose polymer matrix electrically conducting particles have been incorporated, by means of electrical corona discharge is provided. A generator subjects the high voltage discharge electrodes of the corona discharge to a high-frequency alternating current of high voltage. The metal core of a roller, over whose metallic circumference a film web or foil is transported, serves as the grounded metallic counter-electrodes. A housing encloses the high voltage electrodes of the corona discharge and is connected via a line to an atomizer apparatus, in which a liquid is atomized to give a suspendible aerosol by means of a piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrator system or by two-material atomizer nozzles operating at the speed of sound.

Abstract: For surface pre-treatment of a plastic article, such as a film sheet or the interior of a plastic molded article, by means of electrical corona-discharge, a device is provided having a generator 5 and a corona discharge device 11. The generator applied a high-frequency, high-voltage alternating current to the discharge electrodes 4 of the corona-discharge device 11. The grounded counterelectrode used is the metal core 2 of a roller 10 over whose peripheral coating 3 a film sheet 1 is transported. A housing 6 encompasses the electrodes 4 of the corona-discharge device 11 and is connected via a line 7 to an atomizer 8 in which a liquid is atomized to form an aerosol by means of a piezoelectrically operating ultrasonic vibration system or by two-component atomizer nozzles which operate at ultrasonic speed. A fan 9, the throughput rate of which can be regulated, is connected to the atomizer 8 and pushes the carrier gas, for example, air, for the aerosol through the atomizer into the corona-discharge device 11.
