In this work, the influences of plasma pre-treatment on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to the properties of ZnO thin film have been carried out. ZnO thin films were successfully grown on PET substrate by spin coating method. In order to study the effects of plasma pre-treatment, a comparison of treated and untreated condition was employed. Water contact angle measurement had been carried out for PET wettability study prior to ZnO thin film coating. Morphology study of ZnO thin film was performed by scanning probe microscope (SPM). Besides, optical study of the ZnO thin film was done by using UV-vis spectrophotometer. All the measured results show that plasma pre-treatment of PET substrate plays an important role in enhancing the wettability of PET and optical properties of the ZnO thin films. In conclusion, pre-treatment of PET surface is essential to produce higher quality ZnO thin film on this particular substrate in which would pave the way for the integration of future devices.

Tensile stress was applied to β-AgI thin film prepared on a polyethylene terephthalate film, and the ion conduction response in the direction of the tensile extension was investigated. The ionic conductivity of the β-AgI thin film decreases and the activation energy for ionic conduction increases with increasing extension ratio. This behaviour is attributed to the modulation of the crystal framework by the extension of the AgI thin film.
