Description Natural leather was plasma treated with Diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) at atmospheric pressure. The aim of plasma treatment was activation of leather surface and improvement of wettability. Samples of bovine leather were plasma treated for few seconds and analyzed with SEM, XPS, and contact angle measurement. Surface morphology was not affected with plasma treatment. Plasma treatment caused wettability change at the half value of contact angle in comparison with untreated leather. Wettability change is relative stable in the first 24 h after plasma treatment. Change in percentage of chemical bonds containing carbon and oxygen was observed.
