In this study, polypropylene films were oxyfluorinated at room temperature with various mole ratios of fluorine : oxygen, treatment time, and reaction pressure. The oxyfluorinated PP films were characterized by the contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy, and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). By means of oxyfluorination, water contact angles were remarkably decreased, and the total surface free energy and polarity were increased on account of polar terms. Finally, optimum conditions for giving hydrophilicity were that the mole ratio of fluorine : oxygen, treatment time, and reaction pressure were 4:6, 60 min, and 80 kPa, respectively. As an increase of oxyfluorination time, the polar groups containing oxygen or fluorine were created and gradually increased, also the lumps on the surface of PP films were formed and gradually increased.
