The surface structure of sputter-etched polytetrafluoroethylene using radio frequency glow discharge have been studied. The sputter etching treatment produces microscopic cones and changes the chemical bond in the surface, resulting in an improvement of adhesive prop-erty and wettability. The correlation between change in the surface structure and changes in the surface properties are investigated and it is shown that the surface texture of microscopic cones mainly contributes to those changes in the surface properties.
