In the cases of Ar and N 2 plasma treatment, the additional incorporation of the C-O groups (and the C-N groups in the case of N 2 plasma treatment) during the plasma treatment was, however, only able to partly compensate for this loss in the C-O groups, resulting in a decreasing trend in the relative concentration of the peak at 286.8 eV.
