Abstract:
It is an objective of the present invention to improve coatability/printability and adhesiveness of a fluorine-based resin film to a sintered film of ink. A fluorine-based resin film  9  is passed through a treatment space  1 a  under near atmospheric pressure between electrodes  11, 21 . A process gas composed of an inert gas is supplied to the treatment space  1 a . Voltage is applied to between the electrodes to generate electric discharge in the treatment space  1 a . A treatment surface  9 a  is heated to a temperature that is not higher than a continuous use temperature and not lower than a temperature lower than the continuous use temperature by 100 degrees C. A volume concentration of oxygen in the treatment space  1 a  is not higher than 1000 ppm.

Claim (Index 1):
A surface treatment apparatus for treating a treatment surface of a fluorine-based resin film composed of a fluorine-based resin composition, the apparatus comprising:\n a pair of electrodes defining a treatment space under near atmospheric pressure therebetween, the pair of electrodes generating electric discharge in the treatment space by applying voltage; a carrying mechanism that carries the fluorine-based resin film through the treatment space; a process gas nozzle that supplies the treatment space with a process gas containing an inert gas; a heater that heats the treatment surface of the film under treatment; and an oxygen inflow blocker that blocks an inflow of oxygen into the treatment space to make an oxygen concentration of the treatment space lower than an oxygen concentration outside of the treatment space, wherein a temperature of the treatment surface is not higher than a continuous use temperature of the fluorine-based resin film and not lower than a temperature lower than the continuous use temperature by 100 degrees C., and a volume concentration of the oxygen in the treatment space is not higher than 1000 ppm.
