Plasma treatment of polymer powders was performed in a small laboratory low-pressure reactor LA 400 with a microwave source (SurfaceTreat, a.s., Turnov, Czech Republic), more details in [38]. Commercial purity oxygen was used as a working gas with a 100 sccm flow rate, controlled by a flow controller (MKS Instruments, type 1179BX22CM1BV, Munich, Germany). The pressure was set to 100 Pa by a butterfly valve and a rotary pump (Duo 65, Pfeiffer Vacuum, Asslar, Germany) measured with a calibrated Pirani gauge (TPR 280, Pfeiffer Vacuum, Asslar, Germany). The batch size was 250 g, a powder was placed in a mixing pot and mixed with speed 40 rpm during a treatment.
