SURFACE PROPERTIES OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS WITH NANOSCALE FUNCTIONAL COATING

A method of manufacturing a polymeric object that comprises providing a polymeric substrate, and exposing said substrate to a first stage that includes an initial plasma reactant so as to reduce a water contact angle of a surface of the substrate, and, wherein the initial plasma treatment activates...

Zusammenfassung:A method of manufacturing a polymeric object that comprises providing a polymeric substrate, and exposing said substrate to a first stage that includes an initial plasma reactant so as to reduce a water contact angle of a surface of the substrate, and, wherein the initial plasma treatment activates the surface to a grafting reaction, The method further includes exposing the activated substrate surface to a second stage that includes a second plasma reactant to thereby deposit a grafted material on the activated substrate surface to form a grafted surface.
