Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to thermoplastic polymer articles, and methods of making and/or selectively controlling surface properties of the same. The article includes a bulk thermoplastic polymer, and a cap layer formed in-situ thereon. A resin formulation used to form the articles includes the bulk polymer in an amount ranging from about 80 wt. % to about 99.5 wt. %, and a polymer additive (which forms the cap layer) in an amount ranging from about 0.5 wt. % to about 20 wt. %. The bulk polymer viscosity ranges from about 5 to about 1000 times higher than the polymer additive viscosity, and the polymer additive is immiscible in the bulk polymer. A predetermined surface property of the polymer additive, which is not inherent in the bulk polymer, is imparted to the cap layer, and thus to the article.
