Corona dischaige

Khayamian, T. Tabrizchi, M. Taj, N., Direct determination of ultra-trace amounts of acetone by corona-dischaige ion mobility spectrometry, Fresenius J. Anal. Chem. 2001, 370, 1114-1116. 

Corona dischaige treatments have commonly been used to treat substrates such as films or polymer coated paper for printing. The polymers commonly treated in this way are polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate or Mylar . Huorocarbon film surfaces have also been treated with corona in environments other than air. Metal foil surfaces have been treated with corona, but the effect is only moderate, probably because of removal of organic contaminants by the oxidizing exposure.
