Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating the surface of a formed plastic article comprises creating an ionized field and causing air to flow through the field. A formed plastic article is moved through the field and the airflow so that the ionized field circumscribes the peripheral surface of the article to cause the molecular structure of the surface of the article to be modified. Articles made in accordance with the above method also fall within the purview of the invention.
